Allow to set a file association for files with no extension

See original GitHub issue
{
	"files.associations": {
		"*": "mydefaulttype"
	}
}

This changes the file association for absolutely all files. Should be possible to set a file association only for files that have no extension. So it would match somefilename but not somefilename.txt and not even .somefilename.

Yes, that works fine on the files named exactly somefilename. But can’t figure out any way to set a default file type for files with no extension to work.
