Make loading of files case insentive by default and user modifyable

[Anders Markvardsen]

Make loading of direct beam file case insentive.

Also, when using the Add Runs tab files with "-add" appended to the name are created. Make sure the reading of these is case insentive.

Richard writes:

Also could the LNX version please ignore the case of file names when opening files.

e.g. Mantid converts internally the name of the direct beam file from our user file to all upper case (copying COLETTE here), so on LNX the file has to have an all upper case name.

e.g. Mantid on LNX generates –add files with lower case “–add” appended to name. If these are saved on LNX machine then the SANS batch processor won’t read them as it has also generated an all upper case name. It will read them if you move the files to a windows file directory mapped on the LNX machine!

Richard/Steve strongly preferred if Mantid could be switched to a 'case-insensitive' mode.

Speaking to Martyn this may make sense in other circumstances as well.

Option to accommodate this could be to: Include a Boolean Mantid property, say named caseSentivelyFileFinder. FileFinder will then check the ConfigService and if this property false will search for files case in-sensitively.

Implement:

1) Case insentive by default

2) User option to modify this to case sensitive

Circumvent bug in glob. Re #3541

For some reason when case sensitive is on just discovered that on some occasions this makes poco glob try to make WINDOWS case sensitive...... see comment in glob.cpp

This works correctly.

There is a hiccup in the unit tests if you have a file in your directories named "CMakeLists.txt~" (emacs backup file). Just as a warning that no one will read.
