vboxsf: Implement fileattr_get for case sensitivity
Upper layers such as NFSD need a way to query whether a
filesystem handles filenames in a case-sensitive manner. Report
VirtualBox shared folder case handling behavior via the
FS_XFLAG_CASEFOLD flag.
The case sensitivity property is queried from the VirtualBox host
service at mount time and cached in struct vboxsf_sbi. The host
determines case sensitivity based on the underlying host filesystem
(for example, Windows NTFS is case-insensitive while Linux ext4 is
case-sensitive).
VirtualBox shared folders always preserve filename case exactly
as provided by the guest. The host interface does not expose a
separate case-preserving property; leaving
FS_XFLAG_CASENONPRESERVING unset reports the POSIX-default
case-preserving behavior, which matches vboxsf semantics.
The callback is registered in all three inode_operations
structures (directory, file, and symlink) to ensure consistent
reporting across all inode types.
