[PATCH] D48626: New option -fwindows-filesystem, affecting #include paths.

This option interposes a wrapper implementation of VirtualFileSystem
in front of the one in the CompilerInstance. The wrapper filesystem
differs from the standard one in that it tolerates backslashes as a
path separator even if the native path syntax doesn't, and also looks
up filenames case-insensitively even if the native file system is
case-sensitive.

This is intended to be useful to anyone compiling source code on Unix
whose authors had never prepared it to be compiled on anything but
Windows, so that it uses backslashes and inconsistent filename case in
its #include directives.

One particular example is if you're running clang-cl as a cross-
compiler, to build a Windows application on a Unix build host; another
is if you're developing a Unix port of a Windows code base in a
downstream clone of their repository. In either case, if you can't get
the upstream authors to take patches that make their #include
directives more portable, you might instead use this option to get
clang to tolerate the non-portable ones.
