Check case-sensitivity when renaming files

* src/fileio.c (file_name_case_insensitive_p)
(Ffile_name_case_insensitive_p):  New functions.
(Frename_file): Allow renames that simply change case when the
FILE argument is on a case-insensitive filesystem.  (Bug#24441)

* lisp/dired-aux.el (dired-do-create-files): Use
'file-name-case-insensitive-p' instead of 'system-type' to check
for case-insensitivity.  (Bug#24441)

* doc/lispref/files.texi (Truenames): Document
'file-name-case-insensitive-p'.

+@defun file-name-case-insensitive-p filename
+Sometimes file names or their parts need to be compared as strings, in
+which case it's important to know whether the underlying filesystem is
+case-insensitive.  This function returns @code{t} if file
+@var{filename} is on a case-insensitive filesystem.  It always returns
+@code{t} on MS-DOS and MS-Windows.  On Cygwin and Mac OS X,
+filesystems may or may not be case-insensitive, and the function tries
+to determine case-sensitivity by a runtime test.  If the test is
+inconclusive, the function returns @code{t} on Cygwin and @code{nil}
+on Mac OS X.
+
+Currently this function always returns @code{nil} on platforms other
+than MS-DOS, MS-Windows, Cygwin, and Mac OS X.  It does not detect
+case-insensitivity of mounted filesystems, such as Samba shares or
+NFS-mounted Windows volumes.

 @var{dir}, or in a subdirectory of @var{dir}.  It also returns
