It's the callers of get_tsearch_config_filename() that specify the
extension, so AFAICS each dictionary can do what it wants. I don't see
the problem with enforcing an extension: it keeps the namespaces for
different kinds of files separate, and it gets us out of the potential
security risk of allowing access to "." or "..".

I remain of the opinion that we don't really want the SQL-command
definitions of dictionaries to expose the fact that these are files at
all. We should be thinking of the command parameters as identifiers.
