[issue2963] Rename Warning on Windows

New submission from David Golub <golubdr at gmail.com>:

Mercurial fails to rename files on Windows if the old and new name differ 
only by case.  For example, running

hg rename file1.txt File1.txt

produces the error message

File1.txt: not overwriting - file exists

Even though there cannot be two files named file1.txt and File1.txt on 
Windows, it should still be possible to perform a rename operation that 
changes the case of a filename.
