* with_filetree: use splitext for compatibility with template
The example code given deploys files with their .j2 extensions intact, which is probably not what you want.
* Explain how templates interact with splitext|first
* Update plugins/lookup/filetree.py

* Don't encourage setting the mode of symlinks
On ext4, maybe most filesystems, symlinks always have the artificial mode of 0777, and `chmod $mode $symlink` *writes through* the symlink to its target file.
An effect of this is that if you deploy a file and a symlink to it (e.g. this common situation: /etc/nginx/sites-available/default and /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default -> ../sites-available/default) then `with_filetree` will forever first deploy the file with the right mode, then corrupt its mode to 0777, and every redeploy will see a change to fix, forever in a loop.
Probably `file:` should refuse `mode:` on `state: link`s, but in the meantime, avoid recommending it in `filetree`
* Use `follow: false` instead of just the mode.
This should be more cross-compatible.
