[MERGE][1.14][355273] Fix OSX test failures

[Jean-Francois Roy]

I think it's incorrect to blanket disable those tests on Mac OS X. You  
should verify that the root filesystem or whichever it is you are  
running the tests on is case insensitive or not. Mac OS X Server  
defaults to case sensitive HFS+ for example, and Apple has announced  
that they would be shipping ZFS in the next release of Mac OS X Server.

Possibly, a better solution would be to expand the test suite driver  
to create a temporary test file system using the disk image facilities  
in the OS. I may look at contributing that patch sometime in the future.
