Is this a backward-compatible change?  If not, then maybe better
prepend ‘.’ only to the default value for interactive uses?  So users
will get the right result when using ‘M-x dired-mark-extension RET RET’.
But for the programmatic uses it's the responsibility of the caller to
supply the right suffix in ‘(dired-mark-extension ".c")’
