Restore directory extension and version in fileify under EFS.
In df2786654 and 8a5aa89570, the traditional behavior of adding the .DIR;1 onto a fileified directory spec was removed when operating under Extended Filename Syntax. Various scary comments were added about its being a bug to add a type and version onto a Unix-style path, but actually the CRTL appears to be perfectly happy with, for example: stat('/foo/bar/baz.dir;1'); and without the extension, the home-grown rmdir() fails in the case of a directory with no preceding path information. E.g., rmdir('foo'); was failing because there was no internal translation to foo.dir before passing it to SYS$ERASE. Moreover, even if there were something wrong with adding .DIR;1, it has nothing to do with EFS.
