Right now, Tramp uses `echo foo*' to find completions for foo.  If we
want completions to be case-insensitive, we have the following
options:

(1) Always retrieve the whole directory contents.

    This might be slow in large directories.

(2) Say `echo [fF][oO][oO]*' instead.

    Here, it is not clear how to go from a string to the right glob
    pattern.  Hm.  Tramp calls shell-quote-argument somewhere.  While
    going from `x' to `[xX]' we must be careful to correctly deal with
    the output of shell-quote-argument.

Thoughts?
