[Bug 60246] XSSFName.validateName() does not allow DOT as name

https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=60246

--- Comment #1 from Javen O'Neal <on...@apache.org> ---
You are correct. Per the Excel Named Range docs [1]:

> Spaces are not allowed as part of a name. Use the underscore character (_) and period (.) as word separators, such as, Sales_Tax or First.Quarter.

I broke this in r1749305 when trying to restrict named ranges in bug 56781
