Summary: "save as" invalid command with [ ] in file name

Initial Comment:
1. create a new patch
2. save it as "foo[bar].pd"
3. select "save as" from the menu
=>
pd prints 'invalid command name "bar"'
moreover no "save as" dialog window opens

Message:
There was a call to pdtk_canvas_saveas that used "" for quotes.  This patch
switches it to use {} like the rest of Pd.  That way you can use " [ ', etc
in filenames.  All chars should work except {}.  To support {}, we need to
make much bigger changes.
