ext: '' should remove the extension

[silvenon]

I think that would make more sense than just ignoring the empty string and leaving the extension.

files: [{
  expand: true,
  cwd: 'app',
  src: '*.html',
  dest: 'dist',
  ext: ''
}]

That was lightning fast, thank you.

Issue submitters: don't let the fact that I closed this issue in 18 minutes go to your heads, I just happened to be working on adding the extDot option in e08e4df and still had Grunt and node-globule open in my text editor. So there!

This does sort of introduce a weird breaking change for folks who have followed documentation that states when using the rename function, you should have ext: ''. I came across this issue this weekend and it was a pretty easy fix (and I totally agree with this pull req), but it may cause folks using rename to have issues.

Just to point out what I'm talking about:

files: [{
  expand: true,
  cwd: 'app',
  src: '**',
  dest: 'dist',
  ext: ''
  rename: function (dest, src) { console.log(src) }
}]

In this case, if I have a file in /app that has the filename of my-javascript-file.min.1.2.3.js, src in the rename function will come through as my-javascript-file, where it should be my-javascript-file.min.1.2.3. I'm not sure if this is an existing issue elsewhere.

Sorry for overcommenting, just digging through and it looks like this is actually expected functionality, as shown here and in #979. So, my question is, without digging into the source of each contributed plugin, is there a way to change extDot? Sorry if I'm just missing something totally obvious.

Edit: Yes, totally missing something obvious! Maybe I should actually read the issue when I link to it:

files: [{
  expand: true,
  cwd: 'app',
  src: '**',
  dest: 'dist',
  ext: ''
  extDot: 'last',
  rename: function (dest, src) { console.log(src) }
}]

Sorry @cowboy for the stream of consciousness comments. Appreciate the fix! I added it to the doc repo in gruntjs/grunt-docs#50, just so anyone else who comes across it can spend less time rambling in PR comments.
