  as an escape character, but now changed to '@'
  for two reasons: "ls" does not return
  file names starting with '.' considering them

  do not allow several dots in a file name.
- replacing many calls of my_snprintf() and
  strnxmov() to the new build_table_filename().
- Adding MY_APPEND_EXT mysys flag, to append
  an extention rather that replace it.
- Replacing all numeric constants in fn_format
  flag arguments to their mysys definitions, e.g.
  MY_UNPACK_FILENAME,

  when a table name can appear with or withot .frm
  extension. Some functions/methods were changed
  so accept names strictly with .frm, other - strictly
  without .frm extensions. Several DBUG_ASSERTs were
  added to check whether an extension is passed.
Many files:
