> mangle_dupe_cols - default is True
> So ideally it should have handled duplicate columns, but in case the columns are case sensitive it fails as below.
> AnalysisException: Reference '{{{}Sheet.col{}}}' is ambiguous, could be Sheet.col, Sheet.col.
> Where two columns are Col and cOL
> In the best practices, there is a mention of not to use case sensitive columns - [https://koalas.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guide/best_practices.html#do-not-use-duplicated-column-names]
> Either the docs for read_excel/mangle_dupe_cols have to be updated about this or it has to be handled.
