fat: Implement fileattr_get for case sensitivity
Report FAT's case sensitivity behavior via the FS_XFLAG_CASEFOLD and FS_XFLAG_CASENONPRESERVING flags. FAT filesystems are case-insensitive by default. MSDOS supports a 'nocase' mount option that enables case-sensitive behavior; check this option when reporting case sensitivity. VFAT long filename entries preserve case; without VFAT, only uppercased 8.3 short names are stored. MSDOS with 'nocase' also preserves case since the name-formatting code skips upcasing when 'nocase' is set. Check both options when reporting case preservation.
