ripgrep: add --ignore-file-case-insensitive

The --ignore-file-case-insensitive flag causes all
.gitignore/.rgignore/.ignore files to have their globs matched without
regard for case. Because this introduces a potentially significant
performance regression, this is always disabled by default. Users that
need case insensitive matching can enable it on a case by case basis.

Closes #1164, Closes #1170

will be processed with respect to the directory it resides in, just like
`.gitignore`.
To process `.gitignore` and `.ignore` files case insensitively, use the flag
`--ignore-file-case-insensitive`. This is especially useful on case insensitive
file systems like those on Windows and macOS. Note though that this can come
with a significant performance penalty, and is therefore disabled by default.
For a more in depth description of how glob patterns in a `.gitignore` file
are interpreted, please see `man gitignore`.
