            IS_UPLOAD_FILENAME

Checks if name and extension of file uploaded through file input matches
given criteria.

Does *not* ensure the file type in any way. Returns validation failure
if no data was uploaded.

Arguments::

filename: filename (before dot) regex
extension: extension (after dot) regex
lastdot: which dot should be used as a filename / extension separator:
         True means last dot, eg. file.png -> file / png
         False means first dot, eg. file.tar.gz -> file / tar.gz
case: 0 - keep the case, 1 - transform the string into lowercase (default),
      2 - transform the string into uppercase

If there is no dot present, extension checks will be done against empty
string and filename checks against whole value.

Examples::

    #Check if file has a pdf extension (case insensitive):
    INPUT(_type='file', _name='name',
        requires=IS_UPLOAD_FILENAME(extension='pdf'))

    #Check if file has a tar.gz extension and name starting with backup:
    INPUT(_type='file', _name='name',
        requires=IS_UPLOAD_FILENAME(filename='backup.*',
            extension='tar.gz', lastdot=False))

    #Check if file has no extension and name matching README
    #(case sensitive):
    INPUT(_type='file', _name='name',
        requires=IS_UPLOAD_FILENAME(filename='^README$',
            extension='^$', case=0))
