nvim-tree does not allow renaming the file even with changed letter capitalization

Description

I'm trying to rename a file by changing the first letter from lowercase to uppercase, but I'm getting an error that says the file cannot be renamed because it already exists.

Steps to reproduce

1. mkdir test
2. cd test
3. touch test.js
4. nvim -nu /tmp/nvt-min.lua
5. :NvimTreeOpen
6. Press r to rename the file.
7. Rename the file to Test.js

Expected behavior

It should be possible to rename the file test.js to Test.js without considering case sensitivity.

Actual behavior

See :help nvim-tree-os-specific.

This command doesn't exist on my Neovim.

The fix is macos specific; :help nvim-tree-os-specific appears to be out of date.

nvim-tree team have no access to nor expertise with windows. Please do create the PR, see CONTRIBUTING.md

I think that specific fixes for powershell and WSL will be required, see wiki: OS feature flags
