The Windows.KapeFiles.Targets artifact allows to collect many bulk forensic artifacts like registry hives etc. People often use it to collect offline collections for preservation of hosts. Although best practice is to **also** collect parsing artifacts as the same time, sometimes this is left out. In this case the user needs to parse the collected raw files (for example collecting $MFT then needing to apply `Windows.NTFS.MFT` to parse it). This is not always easy to do. This PR adds a notebook suggestion which applies remapping on the KapeFiles collection in such as way that some regular artifacts designed to run on the live system can work to some extent off the raw collection. The additional parsing will be added to new collections in the same (possibly virtual) client. Also: Bugfix for zip_nocase accessor failed to work in some cases. Since we now use remapping there is no need for the Linux.KapeFiles.CollectFromDirectory (which was basically the same as the Windows.KapeFiles.Targets but applies to a mounted directory). That artifact is now removed.
