As of commit 2809012 we have a new primitive, 
file-name-case-insensitive-p, that can be used to determine whether or 
not a filesystem is case insensitive.  This is better than relying on 
system type.  For example, on both Cygwin and macOS, it's possible that 
some filesystems are case-insensitive and others aren't.
