Forced case sensitivity on Windows based runners

### TLDR
The checkout action V6 introduced forced case sensitivity on windows while the OS itself is case insensitive by default. This behavior was not in V5.

### Explanation
Checkout makes use of the `includeIf.` in `git-auth-helper.ts` this command is case sensitive, even if your OS is not. It also ignores the `ignoreCase=true` flag of your git config. The Github action runner agent also seems to be pretty loose with the use of upper and lower cases witch results in a workspacedir variable that might not have matching cases.

**what happens from a users perspective:**
* We trigger a pipeline with `checkout@v6` running on a self hosted windows runner
* The action starts, checkout runs and fails on a popup

**what happened from the systems perspective:**
* A action was triggered and scheduled on a self hosted windows runner
* The Github runner agent creates a folder on D:\Workspaces\repository and allows the pipeline to run
* The `checkout@v6` action starts running and wants to authenticate. Somewhere along the lines it wants the `.git` folder. It looks for it at `D:/workspaces/TestCheckoutV6/TestCheckoutV6/.git.path` using `includeIf`
* `includeIf` cannot find the path provided. `D:\workspaces` does not exist on the windows runner
* The git authentication fumbles trough its failed authentication attempts and eventually prompts the user for a username/password but also fails in this step as it cannot be done in headless mode and exits with a !0 exit code
* The Github action runner notices the exit code and fails the build

**Why are the public runners not affected**
Github uses the workspace folder `a` (lower case). If the workspace folder is in all lower case there is no issue.

**Workaround**
Renaming the folder `D:\Workspaces` to `D:\workspaces` 'fixes' the issue
