mtlcl410andClaude Opus 5.5 f41abf921f M6: dotted field names make parent fields (#2696) ...

A field's own (partial) name can't contain a period (ISO 32000-2
§12.7.4.2), so Prepare a form refused MASTER.first. Acrobat reads such a
name as a full name: the field `first` under a parent field `MASTER`.

- add_field: a dotted name makes or joins the parent fields it names.
- set_props: a dotted name is the full name and moves the field there,
  copying what it inherited onto it first; a plain name still renames
  the field within its parent. Either way the new full name may not be
  taken by, or hold or sit inside, another field.
- A field joining an existing parent doesn't take its Ff or Q.
- Field Properties and the Prepare a form name tags show the full name
  instead of the last part.
- Names are capped at 32 parts; empty parts are refused.
