Add a new flag indicating that a filesystem supports casefolding.
This is better than overlayfs's current method of checking for
sb->s_encoding, which isn't reliable - XFS implements ASCII casefolding,
so it won't be set there.
It's needed for overlayfs and the new dcache exclusion code to check
"should we allow union mounts on this filesystem even though the dcache
hash/compare ops are set? and do we need the new exclusion?".
