Don't allow . in overloaded labels

sheaf requested to merge sheaf/ghc:T22821 into master

This patch removes . from the list of allowed characters in a non-quoted overloaded label, as it was realised this steals syntax, e.g. (#.).

Users who want this functionality will have to add quotes around the label, e.g. #"17.28".

See the associated proposed amendment to GHC proposal 170.
