Summary: More checks on FAT "." entries

Initial Comment:
Currently, TSK does special things with any "." entry it finds in the directory.  We should limit this to only the first couple of entires in the directory.  Otherwise, someone could manually change the name of a file to be "." and its content would not be accessible.
