    fat: Mitigate the lack of UTF-8 case folding
    
    FAT has to convert between Linux filenames ('iocharset' encoding,
    should be UTF-8 today) and native filenames (UTF-16 for long names,
    'codepage' encoding for short names).  And it has to do case
    folding in multiple encodings.  Unfortunately Linux doesn't
    implement case-folding for UTF-8, resulting in inconsistent name
    lookup behaviour as shown in bug #833238.
    
    The 'utf8' option makes FAT assume the Linux filename encoding is
    UTF-8, regardless of the 'iocharset' encoding.  Enabling this and
    setting iocharset=ascii mitigates the problems by enabling case-
    folding for the ASCII subset.
    
    Make that the default by enabling FAT_DEFAULT_UTF8 and setting
    FAT_DEFAULT_IOCHARSET to "ascii".
