Summary0001826: Add filename+extension for signature URLs
DescriptionCurrenty, SigServer generate the signature image URLs in the following format:

http://sig.anidb.net/images/signatures/24108/Va03N/

However, some forums don't allow linking to images if the URL path doesn't end in a filename extension (like ".png", ".jpg" or ".gif" - very lame way to enforce image type check, but sadly that's the way for some forum software to do their checks). Adding something like "?dummy=file.png" is not a valid workaround: in several forums dynamic URLs are also banned (most likely as a security/antispam feature).

Trying to do something like:
http://sig.anidb.net/images/signatures/24108/Va03N/something.png
...also fails, since SigServer gives a 404 in that case. But it should be implemented in that way: allow specify a bogus filename at the end of the URL to make those naive forums to accept the signature.
Steps To Reproduce1. Generate your signature
2. Go to your favorite forum and try to use it as a signature
3. Watch the forum SW reject your "typeless" image.
