Simplify case-insensitivity checks on Mac OS X
* src/fileio.c (file_name_case_insensitive_p): Try skipping the
Darwin code and instead using pathconf with _PC_CASE_SENSITIVE.
Leave in two alternatives conditionally compiled based on
DARWIN_OS_CASE_SENSITIVE_FIXME in case pathconf doesn't work.
* etc/PROBLEMS: Mention the possible problem with pathconf on
Mac OS X.
