// CaseInsensitive reports whether the filesystem backing root treats file names
// case-insensitively, as NTFS, APFS, HFS+, exFAT and CIFS do. It creates a
// probe file and looks it up under a different case, mirroring how git detects
// core.ignoreCase.
//
// It probes rather than inferring from runtime.GOOS because neither direction
// holds: macOS can be formatted case-sensitively, and a Linux host commonly
// serves a case-insensitive mount. When the root cannot be written to, it falls
// back to the host's usual default rather than assuming case-sensitivity, since
// a read-only root is still exposed to the disclosure this guards against.
