    GUACAMOLE-326: Explicitly deny attempted reads/writes to Windows named data 
streams.

    From [GUACAMOLE-326](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GUACAMOLE-326):
    
    > When a file has been downloaded over the internet via Windows 10, and 
that file is later transferred over Guacamole using the magic "Download" 
folder, multiple files end up being transferred: "filename.ext" and 
"filename.ext:ZoneIdentifier".
    >
    > This is due to the way Windows 10 tags files downloaded over the internet 
with secondary "streams", such that it can warn users of the risks prior to 
executing those files:

    >
    > As Guacamole does not actually use such files, and the underlying 
filesystem does not support them, they should be appropriately ignored/rejected 
rather than downloaded.
