47913: implement CASE_PATHS option to make NO_CASE_GLOB more sensible

This was included in the 5.9 release.

The NEWS file says:

The option CASE_PATHS was added to control how NO_CASE_GLOB behaves.
NO_CASE_GLOB + NO_CASE_PATHS is equivalent to the current NO_CASE_GLOB
behaviour. NO_CASE_GLOB + CASE_PATHS treats only path components that
contain globbing characters as case-insensitive; this behaviour may
yield more predictable results on case-sensitive file systems.
NO_CASE_PATHS is the default.
