Patch for retry without substituting '.' as scope separator

Hi all,

There is a bug in doxygen-1.8.5 with TCL classes and class members with a dot in their name.

When we want to use \link to these members, the resolution of the name
fails.

This is due to the fact that the any dot in a name is substituted by '::' as
if it was a scope separator.
This is very suitable and convenient for C++ / Java / etc., where a dot
in function names and class members is not allowed,
but TCL does allow a dot in function names.

I wrote a (quick and (maybe not so) dirty) patch for doxygen-1.8.5.

The function resolveRef in util.h/util.c now has an additional
argument dotIsScopeSeparator. When this is set to FALSE,
a 'dot' in the reference name won't be translated to '::'.

For compatibility, it defaults to TRUE.
The Q&D part now exists in the fact that, the rest of the code
still uses the compatible call. The function itself tries to resolve
with dotIsScopeSeparator = FALSE when resolving with
dotIsScopeSeparator = TRUE fails.

I added a simple test project with several links as suggested by
http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/manual/autolink.html

With best regards,
Tom.
