b4: Rework handling of output file naming
When passing a name like "a.mbx" to b4-am's --mbox-name, only the "a" is retained; b4-am unconditionally appends the ".mbx". Avoid passing a name with ".mbx" to make it clearer that the caller does not control the extension. Reduce the base name to "m" to avoid a message ID ending with ".*" being treated as an extension, which would require analyzing the message ID in order to guess what output name b4-am will use. Finally, name the custom thread mbox with "-piem" rather than "-thread" (which was chosen to mimic b4-mbox) so it's more obvious who created the file when later inspecting the directory.
