I try to normalize case for path with german characters:

```
>os.path.normcase(r'c:\asd\ASDẞ')
'c:\\asd\\asdß'
```

But in OS Windows r'c:\asd\ASDẞ' and r'c:\asd\asdß' are different paths.

ntpath.normcase() needs a platform-dependent implementation that calls LCMapStringEx() in Windows, in order to properly agree with case-insensitive Windows filesystems. See bpo-42658.
