[llvm-dev] [cfe-dev] Shortest RFC ever: I propose we rename files using `.TXT` extension to use `.txt`

[Nico Weber via llvm-dev]

I did a case-only rename in https://reviews.llvm.org/rL272701 . There were
similar concerns, but it worked out fine. I had tested that it works on
Windows before doing it. I did that through svn. So I too think this
shouldn't be an issue.
