Summary: Patch for 1115886 - splitext incorrectly handles filenames l

Initial Comment:
Patch attached which modifies behaviour in macpath,
posixpath, and ntpath - and modifies tests as well.

Change is desirable, the intention is to split the
extension from the filename. A fiel called '.foo' does
not have an extension.

There is the possibility that this change will break
code where workarounds have been made.

The patch is incomplete: it would still split '..' to ('.', '.'), hence
I'm rejecting it. A more complete patch will be committed shortly.
