Describe the problem

Arduino IDE incorrectly displays redundant editor tabs after the user renames a secondary sketch file under the following conditions:

• The sketch was opened in Arduino IDE at some point in time before the rename.
• The file system is case insensitive (Windows and macOS).
• The file was renamed using an external tool (e.g., file manager application, mv)
• The new filename differs from the old one only in case.

🐛 The user will be confused by the presence of an editor tab for a file that no longer exists. They will not find any way to correct the situation via the Arduino IDE interface.
🐛 The bug can cause a loss of the user's sketch code.

To reproduce

1. Select File > New Sketch from the Arduino IDE menus.
2. Click the ▼ button on the right side of the editor toolbar.
3. Select "New Tab" from the menu.
4. In the "Name for new file" field, type Foo.ino
5. Click the OK button.
   
6. Select File > Save As... from the Arduino IDE menus.
7. Save the sketch to any convenient location.
8. Select File > Close from the Arduino IDE menus.
9. Use your file browser or terminal software to rename the file Foo.ino in the sketch folder to foo.ino.
10. Open the sketch in the Arduino IDE.
    🐛 The editor still contains a "Foo.ino" tab in addition to the expected "foo.ino" tab.
11. Select File > Preferences from the Arduino IDE menus.
12. Check the box next to "☐ Auto save".
13. Click the OK button.
14. Add some text to the "foo.ino" editor tab:

    // hello world

15. Select the "Foo.ino" editor tab.
    😕 The editor does not contain the text that was added to the "foo.ino" editor tab.
16. Type a character in the "Foo.ino" editor tab.
    🐛 An unexpected "The file 'Foo.ino' has been changed on the file system." dialog opens:
    
17. Click the No button.
18. Type a character in the "Foo.ino" editor tab.
19. Click the Yes button in the dialog.
20. Select the "foo.ino" editor tab.
    🐛 The previous // hello world contents of the file have been replaced by the characters that were added to the "Foo.ino" editor tab.
21. Select File > Preferences from the Arduino IDE menus.
22. Uncheck the box next to "☑ Auto save"
23. Click the OK button.
24. Add some text to the "foo.ino" editor tab:

    // foobar

25. Select File > Save from the Arduino IDE menus.
    🐛 An unexpected "The file 'Foo.ino' has been changed on the file system." dialog opens.
26. Click the Yes button.
    🐛 An unexpected "The file 'foo.ino' has been changed on the file system." dialog opens.
27. Click the Yes button.
28. Select the "foo.ino" editor tab.
    😕 The editor does not contain the text that was added to the "Foo.ino" editor tab.

Expected behavior

Editor tabs always reflect the actual sketch files.

Additional context

The bug does not apply to renaming using the editor tab control menu's "Rename" item because its dialog refuses to allow such a renaming (#2272).

2. Select the "View: Reset Workbench Layout" command from the menu.
