[issue26655] pathlib glob case sensitivity issue on Windows

[Udo Eberhardt]

New submission from Udo Eberhardt:

On Windows Path.glob does not always return the file name with correct case. 

If the current directory contains a file named MixedCase.txt then the following script:

import pathlib
p = pathlib.Path('.')
print(list(p.glob('*.txt')))
print(list(p.glob('Mixedcase.txt')))

yields:
[WindowsPath('MixedCase.txt')]
[WindowsPath('mixedcase.txt')]

Problem: The result of the second call to glob should be 'MixedCase.txt' as well. I would expect that glob returns a file name exactly as it is spelled in the file system.
