[Bf-funboard] Render frame ranges/filenames

[Campbell Barton]

Heres a patch so #'s can be used for frame numbers.
This is backwards compatible with how it currently works
 /tmp/test ->  /tmp/test####  -> /tmp/test0001

but you can do stuff like /tmp/foo_###.png or /tmp/render_########.png

Only the first set of #'s are used /tmp/render_##_##.png wont give the
number twice.

Would appreciate if people can test the patch.
