Change format of value Type "Resource" to ensure they are correct file names #36

The current format of the value type "Resource" is string. Shouldn´t there be some restrictions regarding to special characters in file names? I guess not every special character is allowed to be used in a file name.

@AndriiVoitenko what do you think?

This is a good start: http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/V1_chap03.html#tag_03_282

Which proposes:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 . _ -

We already have a type Name. And this type is used also for xml-Attribute Name of Fixture Type xml-Node. And the same field, is used as a part of GDTF file name. So I suggest to remove from Appendix C symbols: SOLIDUS, COLON, LESS-THAN SIGN, GREATER-THAN SIGN, ASTERISK, QUOTATION MARK,. An use the same type "Name" also for Resources.

I think this is defined OK as UTF-8 Text from the XML itself
