[cfe-dev] New warning for mismatched include case

The attached (incomplete proof-of-concept) patch provides a new warning that fires on case-insensitive file systems when the case of the file name in the #include directive doesn't match the case of the file name on disk. The idea is to avoid broken commits that fail to build on case-sensitive file systems. For example:

jason$ ls
test.cpp test.h
jason$ cat test.cpp
#include "Test.h"
jason$ clang++ -fsyntax-only test.cpp 
test.cpp:1:10: warning: include case does not match the case of the file on disk
#include "Test.h"
         ^
1 warning generated.

What do you think? Is this desirable? Does the direction look right?
