Improve SHA*E extension extraction code
Do not treat parts of the filename that contain punctuation or other non-alphanumeric characters as extensions. Before, such characters were filtered out. Note that in 38bd7ca3cce455c20edcee656c706939087c6a69 "foo.ba__________r" was munged to ".bar" and so incorrectly treated as an extension. That was fixed by changing the filter order, but not allowing punctuation seems a better fix. This assumes that extensions containing punctuation are rare. "_" seems the most likely character; I used it in ikiwiki "._comment" files. But I can't recall seeing it anywhere else. It certianly seems that no commonly used extensions contain punctuation. If git-annex doesn't treat "._comment" as an extension, it's not likely to break software that expects to see that extension like some software expects to see .epub or .mp3. This commit was sponsored by Jack Hill on Patreon.
