Retain orig. filename as suffix for tmp. filename



It is useful to have an original filename as a part of temporary
filename when editing files from extfs or vfs:

 * editors can use it's features connected to file name/extension
   (syntax highlihting etc.)

 * user can see the real name of the file he is editing in external
   editor

I've created simple patch to extract 'foofile.tgz' as

 * for the default getlocalcopy (used by most vfses):
   vfsXXXXX-foofile.tgz, or vfsXXXXX when the earlier fails
   (not mclocalcopy which is longer and not more informative)

 * for the extfs_open: 
   extfsXXXXX-foofile.tgz, or extfsXXXXX when the earlier fails

It is worth noting, that the getlocalcopy has already supported file
'extension' as a suffix (mclocalcopyXXXXX.tgz in our case, btw it was
implemented in a quite ugly way: 6 lines of code could be easily
substituted with simple strrchr), but it is not enough IMO:

 * Something we call 'extension' is not native to the *nix
   nomenclature, in unix filename is atomic (of course we treat part
   after the last dot as the 'extension', but it is mostly
   conventional) - AFAIK, correct me if I'm wrong...

 * The complete filename is more informative (see the second point at
   the beginning).
