#246: can't overwrite vector map if it's name is fully qualified (i.e. contains @mapset)

GRASS can't overwrite a vector map output if the output name is given with @mapset. This is not strictly a wxGUI issue, but as wxGUI uses a fully
qulified name for output, it manifests itself there. Examples:
C module:
{{{
v.random out=tmp@PERMANENT n=1 --o
Illegal filename. Character <@> not allowed.
ERROR: <tmp@PERMANENT> is an illegal file name
}}}
Shell script:
{{{
v.in.geonames in=PL.txt out=tmp@PERMANENT --o
WARNING: Vector map <tmp@PERMANENT> already exists and will be
overwritten
WARNING: Unable to open directory
'/home/grassdata/wgs84/PERMANENT/vector/tmp@PERMANENT'
ERROR: Unable to delete vector map <tmp@PERMANENT>
}}}

This is a bug in v.random. However, Vect_open_new() didn't allow fully
qualified names. Both are fixed in SVN trunk.
