Item13930: Solve the CamelCase - topic mapping and attachment problems on case insensitive filesystems

Problem outline

To the "logic" of creating and managing the Store-filenames related the case-insensitive filesystem problems: For example:

• if you create a topic SomeTopicName and the SomeTopicname on Linux this is two topics
• On the OS X, by creating the SomeTopicName will result the SomeTopicname will exists too.

The attachments are more worse. Attaching e.g.

• the image TheFoswikiLogo.png and
• the second TheFoswikilogo.png
• on the OSX creates two different attachments, (in the META)
• but only one file will be in the /pub .
• After trashing any of them, the second remains in the META but the click results to simple: "not found"...

Hopefully this can be fixed in the Store directly. Given that with remote file systems this could possibly be per-web, ( File::Spec->case_tolerant() ) can be used to detect the file system case sensitivity per web.

Chnged back from Enhancement to "Normal" priority, cos this is (an OS specific) but still a bug. Especially the attachments case.
