When for-each-ref is used with --ignore-case, we expect
match_name_as_path() to do a case-insensitive match. But
there's an extra layer of filtering that happens before we
even get there. Since commit cfe004a5a9 (ref-filter: limit
traversal to prefix, 2017-05-22), we feed the prefix to the
ref backend so that it can optimize the ref iteration.
There's no mechanism for us to tell the backend we're
matching case-insensitively. And nor is there likely to be
one anytime soon, since the packed backend relies on
binary-searching the sorted list of refs. Let's just punt on
this case. The extra filtering is an optimization that we
simply can't do. We'll still give the correct answer via the
filtering in match_name_as_path().
