This would have addressed a recent issue that arose when re-ordering our
"filesystem layers". Specifically moving the caseFilesystem to the
outermost layer. The previous cache included the filesystem, and as such
all the layers below. This isn't desirable (to put it mildly), as you
can create different variants of filesystems with different layers for
the same path and options. Concretely this did happen with the mtime
layer, which isn't always present. A test for the mtime related breakage
was added in #9687, and I intend to redo the caseFilesystem reordering
after this.

This adds support for syncing ownership on Unixes and on Windows. The
scanner always picks up ownership information, but it is not applied
unless the new folder option "Sync Ownership" is set.
Ownership data is stored in a new FileInfo field called "platform data". This
is intended to hold further platform-specific data in the future
(specifically, extended attributes), which is why the whole design is a
bit overkill for just ownership.
This changes the cache to cache less things, yet retain the required
efficiency for our walk usecase. This uses less memory.
Specifically, instead of keeping result and child caches for each path
level, only keep a single cached child. In practice our operations are
depth-first, or almost depth-first, and then we retain the same hit
ratio for a smaller cache size.
I improved the benchmark so that it counts the Lstat and DirNames
operations performed, and they do not change significantly. The amount
of allocated memory is reduced by 20% and the walk itself is actually
slightly faster.
This also removes the clear based on number of cached names (as that is
not a thing any more) and the timer based clear (which was unused). This
means we'll retain the last cache state forever until it's cleared by a
write operation, but we did that before too and that state is now a lot
smaller...
The overhead compared to not using a casefs, for our typical "double
walk" (walk the tree then stat everything again) is 2x the dirnames we
would otherwise call, and no overhead on the stats (unchanged from old
implementation)

With this change we emulate a case sensitive filesystem on top of
insensitive filesystems. This means we correctly pick up case-only renames
and throw a case conflict error when there would be multiple files differing
only in case.
This safety check has a small performance hit (about 20% more filesystem
operations when scanning for changes). The new advanced folder option
`caseSensitiveFS` can be used to disable the safety checks, retaining the
previous behavior on systems known to be fully case sensitive.
