Adopted from upstream LoveRetro#722 by Eric Reinsmidt, taken while upstream is still GPL-3.0 (see LoveRetro#765). cleanName() ran removeExtension() over names the game time db already stores without one, so the first dot in a title was read as a suffix boundary. "Gun.Smoke" displayed as "Gun" and "Dr.Mario" as "Dr". Both callers in this tree - gametime.c and gametimedb.c - pass rom->name, which is stored extension-free, so dropping the removeExtension() call is safe for every caller we have. Covered in tests/test_utils.c: the two truncation cases fail without the fix, alongside guards for the behaviour that has to survive it - numeric sorting prefixes, underscores and region parens.
