ripgrep: add --ignore-file-case-insensitive

The --ignore-file-case-insensitive flag causes all
.gitignore/.rgignore/.ignore files to have their globs matched without
regard for case. Because this introduces a potentially significant
performance regression, this is always disabled by default. Users that
need case insensitive matching can enable it on a case by case basis.

Closes #1164, Closes #1170

 will be processed with respect to the directory it resides in, just like
 `.gitignore`.
 
+To process `.gitignore` and `.ignore` files case insensitively, use the flag
+`--ignore-file-case-insensitive`. This is especially useful on case insensitive
+file systems like those on Windows and macOS. Note though that this can come
+with a significant performance penalty, and is therefore disabled by default.

 For a more in depth description of how glob patterns in a `.gitignore` file
 are interpreted, please see `man gitignore`.
