BUG MIGRATED FROM SOURCEFORGE

Circumstance:
A file is uploaded whose name is not a valid wiki page
title (invalid characters, such as #). The filename is
munged with the intent of making a legal title.
Expected behavior:
Even hideously deformed title should be turned into
something legal.
Actual behavior:
Some, such as containing #, do not result in a legal
title. The resulting image page cannot be accessed
correctly through the wiki (ie for deletion or renaming).
Example:
Upload of image something like "E with # blah blah.png"
mismunged into 'E_with_'. The resulting name is
invalid: it ends with a space which gets trimmed off by
most other functions. And, of course, the remainder of
the filename is cropped instead of just the offending
character being blanked out, so is doubly wrong.
Seriousness:
Requires manual intervention to clean up the bad
entries from the tables. No serious data loss, as
original uploaded immediately recognizes that it did
not succeed and uploads under a new title.

Likely shares some issues with #695913 Bad titles not
properly filtered on page creation.

Checked in a fix that addresses the #'s. Replaces them by
hyphens so that there are no problems with underscore-merging.
SpecialUpload.php, rev. 1.31
Any additional issues left?
