pathauditor: no need to normcase the paths

The only thing normed paths are used is the key of the caching sets,
so the only change of behavior will be that the checks will be repeated
for paths that differ by case.

If anything, it seems correct for the check to be repeated, in case
that actually affects semantics, but the main reasoning is simplifying
the code and making it a bit faster.

It looks like the code originally comes from commit [081e795c60e0]:
it looks like that commit tried to get rid of the existing norming,
but presumably did this overly cautiously, preserving it for the
cache keys, even though it was pointless even then.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install::

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing::

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.

Notes for packagers
===================

Mercurial ships a copy of the python-zstandard sources. This is used to
provide support for zstd compression and decompression functionality. The
module is not intended to be replaced by the plain python-zstandard nor
is it intended to use a system zstd library. Patches can result in hard
to diagnose errors and are explicitly discouraged as unsupported
configuration.
