fs: Add case sensitivity flags to file_kattr

Browse Source 
Enable upper layers such as NFSD to retrieve case sensitivity
information from file systems by adding FS_XFLAG_CASEFOLD and
FS_XFLAG_CASENONPRESERVING flags.

Filesystems report case-insensitive or case-nonpreserving behavior
by setting these flags directly in fa->fsx_xflags. The default
(flags unset) indicates POSIX semantics: case-sensitive and
case-preserving. Both flags are added to FS_XFLAG_RDONLY_MASK so
FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR silently strips them, keeping the new xflags
strictly a reporting interface. Callers that want to toggle
casefolding continue to use FS_IOC_SETFLAGS with FS_CASEFOLD_FL,
the established UAPI on filesystems that support the operation
(ext4 and f2fs on empty directories).

Case sensitivity information is exported to userspace via the
fa_xflags field in the FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR ioctl and file_getattr()
system call.
