fs: Clarify FS_CASEFOLD_FL semantics in UAPI header
The existing one-liner "Folder is case insensitive" leaves the
impression that FS_CASEFOLD_FL is reserved for directories.
That impression is wrong: filesystems that derive
case-insensitivity from mount or volume state report the bit on
non-directory inodes via i_op->fileattr_get, so userspace
inspecting FS_IOC_GETFLAGS can see it on any inode type.

Replace the one-liner with a block comment that names directories
as the typical case, records that non-directory inodes may also
report the bit, and notes FS_XFLAG_CASEFOLD as the read-only
companion exposed through FS_IOC_FSGETXATTR.
