Fix exploit to bypass filename restrictions on Windows

Windows API ignores all trailing spaces and periods which can get around
Quake 3 file system restrictions. QVM opening 'uix86.dll.' actually
opens 'uix86.dll' which allows QVM to write native code.

This is done in the low-level Sys_FOpen() instead of the function
directly used by VMs ( FS_FOpenFileByMode() ) in case there are engine
commands now or in the future that can read or write arbitrary files.

Reported by Noah Metzger (Chomenor).
