Local driver installs where archive has . in path before extension are hard to load with a driver manager #306

When I install a driver from a local archive with a . in the path before the extension, the driver essentially gets installed in a way that makes it unloadable with its short name:

$ go run ./cmd/dbc install --no-verify some_driver_unsigned_v1.0.0.tar.gz
Installing from local package: some_driver_unsigned_v1.0.0.tar.gz

[✓] installing
[✓] verifying signature

Installed some_driver_unsigned_v1.0.0 1.10.0 to /Users/bryce/Library/Application Support/ADBC/Drivers

I think the . causes the driver manager to take a different branch when we would otherwise discover the manifest.

Should dbc's local install mechanism warn or prevent the user from doing this?
