--backup-dir cannot be in root even when excluded

I have fixed this The overlapping checks were indeed incorrect on case insensitive file systems. I've fixed that up along with a few other issued.

Please give this a go

v1.64.0-beta.7146.f801730e9.fix-overlapping on branch fix-overlapping (uploaded in 15-30 mins)

At least on macOS it works now:

$ rclone sync src dst --backup-dir dst/Backup --exclude 'Backup/'

$ rclone sync src dst --backup-dir dst/backup --exclude 'backup/'

both are OK

[kapitainsky]

works also on Windows

Thanks for testing

I've merged this to master now which means it will be in the latest beta in 15-30 minutes and released in v1.64

If we do a v1.63.2 I may put it in that but it has missed the v1.63.1 merge window alas!

Nick, thanks for all you do. rclone's become indespensible within my workflows.
