xfs: Report case sensitivity in fileattr_get

Upper layers such as NFSD need to query whether a filesystem
is case-sensitive. Add FS_XFLAG_CASEFOLD to xfs_ip2xflags()
when the filesystem is formatted with the ASCIICI feature
flag. This serves both FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR (via xfs_fill_fsxattr()
in xfs_fileattr_get()) and XFS_IOC_BULKSTAT (which populates
bs_xflags directly from xfs_ip2xflags()), so bulkstat consumers
and per-inode queries see a consistent view of the filesystem's
case-folding behavior.

FS_XFLAG_CASEFOLD is read-only: FS_XFLAG_RDONLY_MASK ensures
FS_IOC_FSSETXATTR strips it, and xfs_flags2diflags() has no
clause for CASEFOLD so the on-disk diflags are unaffected.
The legacy FS_IOC_SETFLAGS path in xfs_fileattr_set() also
allows FS_CASEFOLD_FL through its allowlist on ASCIICI
filesystems so that a chattr read-modify-write cycle does
not fail with EOPNOTSUPP.

XFS always preserves case. XFS is case-sensitive by default,
but supports ASCII case-insensitive lookups when formatted
with the ASCIICI feature flag.
