[newlib-cygwin] Don't check directories always case-insensitive in rename(2)

commit e3ccb686104103898ac9615a72f0189aa980c273

    Don't check directories always case-insensitive in rename(2)
    
    Long-standing problem in one of the corner cases of rename(2):
    If we rename a directory a check is performed to see if newpath is
    identical to oldpath or a subdir of oldpath. This check is
    (accidentally? no hints anywhere in ChangeLogs or code) performed
    case-insensitive for as long as we use Unicode paths and NT functions.
    This leads to the problems described in
    https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2016-09/msg00264.html
    
    Change this to be conditional case-sensitive as all other checks but
    let's take this with a grain of salt.  There may be corner-cases in
    this corner-case which require to chek parts of the path always
    case-insensitive.  Off the top of my head I can't construct such a
    case but that's no proof they don't exist :}
