Use different filename while file is being transferred #66

We need a way for AXL to signify to the user that a file transfer is complete, beyond just calling AXL_Wait(). Reasons are discussed here and in subsequent comments: https://github.com/LLNL/scr/issues/163#issuecomment-635018484

The easiest solution would be tack on an ._AXL extension to the filename while it's being transferred:

ckpt_0._AXL

That way, it gives a hint to the user that "my ckpt_0 file is still being transferred by AXL" and they could ls -l it to track progress. After the transfer is complete AXL would move the file to it's final name.
