Validate Base32 characters in the original input.

The character ı (U+0131) is not Base32, but toUpperCase() converts it to I. Replacing an I in VALID_G with ı therefore passes this check and detect, so parse accepts the input instead of reporting INVALID_BASE32. Check address against an explicit ASCII alphabet, including lowercase letters, before validating the normalized address. (unicode.org)

Proposed change 
-const BASE32_CHARS = /^[A-Z2-7]+$/;
+const BASE32_CHARS = /^[A-Za-z2-7]+$/;
...
-  if (!BASE32_CHARS.test(up)) {
+  if (!BASE32_CHARS.test(address)) {

Review comment at @packages/core-ts/src/address/parse.ts at line 72:
Update the Base32 character validation in parse to check the original address
against an explicit ASCII alphabet that accepts uppercase and lowercase letters
and digits 2–7, before validating the normalized address. Ensure Unicode
characters that uppercase into valid Base32 characters are rejected.
