Fix #3604: automation file access refuses an NTFS alternate data stream name on Windows

With write root ...\out, a save to ...\out\x.svg:evil was accepted: it stays inside the root, but writes a hidden stream no folder listing shows. A ':' in any name after the drive is now refused with the device names. The check is a plain name test, so it is covered on every platform; the check-then-open race (item 1 of the report) is a documented limitation and is not touched.
