Customize backup extension name

See original GitHub issue

We want to use the presence of a backed up jar file to know that it has been remediated already via other tools. The problem is .bak is a ubiquitous extension and may not actually indicate the jar next to it was remediated, it could have been created for any reason. Allowing customization would allow for us to save the backup file as something like .log4j.bak
