Filename collision due to case-sensitivity in Keysight folder

[spauka]

When pulling the qcodes repository on Windows, there is a filename collision between the uppercase and lowercase Keysight folders.

The error message is as follows:

$ git clone https://github.com/QCoDeS/Qcodes.git

warning: the following paths have collided (e.g. case-sensitive paths
on a case-insensitive filesystem) and only one from the same
colliding group is in the working tree:

  'qcodes/instrument_drivers/Keysight/__init__.py'
  'qcodes/instrument_drivers/keysight/__init__.py'

I propose we remove the lowercase keysight folder as it has now been deprecated for over 2 years.

System

Windows/OSX and other OS's with case insensitive file systems.

i'm working on macOS and haven't seen this problem. But i'm all for removing that lowercase directory if it is possible in a clean way.

@jenshnielsen thanks, already curiously following it :)
