Description:
When running mysqldump on a table containing the character '.', fn_format fails to append the ".sql" and ".txt" extensions onto the output files.

How to repeat:
CREATE TABLE `t.t` (i int);

mysqldump --tab=... test t

Suggested fix:
Pass the MY_APPEND_EXT flag to fn_format.

Bug #28380961: CONTRIBUTION BY FACEBOOK: ADD MY_APPEND_EXT FLAG WHEN

  DETERMINING FILE NAME ...

Ensure that mysqldump always adds the extension to file names for tables
when --tabe is used.
Added a test.

This is fixed in 8.0.13 after Bug #91745 implemented.

For mysqldump --tables output, file names now always include a .txt
or .sql suffix, even for file names that already contain a dot.
Thanks to Facebook for the contribution.
