* Ensure the default download filename is consistent across different platforms. The OPDS plugin correctly uses util.getSafeFilename() to remove any special characters from the filename for downloads. However this function works differently on different platforms, with some common characters like : and ? being allowed on some platforms but not others. In particular this may break Process Sync if it is configured to rely on file names. This change gives a better default behaviour by ensuring the default filename is the same across different platforms, while still letting the user change the filename to include special characters if the platform supports them. * Make util.replaceAllInvalidChars() global and call it rather than copying code.
