Fix help for operators starting with a dot

This fixes #8903 and supersedes #8922 (cc @hayd). Basically, when you pass a function to the help system (instead of just its name), the system can go through all the modules and only returns those methods that actually extend the same function.  The way it does this, however, is a little hacky... using string concatenation to combine the function name with the module names, and then splitting it back apart again on dots to get the functions within each module.  This simply improves the splitting logic with a regex to handle the leading dot.

cleanup BLAS.dot method argument types

When `BLAS.dot` accepts `StridedArrays` the following may occur:

```julia
using Base.BLAS
n = 5
A = zeros(n,n)
A[1,1:5] = 1
B = zeros(n,n)
B[1:5,1] = 1
sA = sub(A,1,1:5)
sB = sub(B,1:5,1)
a = BLAS.dot(sA,sB)
println("sA: $sA")
println("sB: $sB")
println("BLAS.dot(sA,sB): $a")
```

Output:

```
sA: [1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0]
sB: [1.0,1.0,1.0,1.0,1.0]
BLAS.dot(sA,sB): 1.0
```

Solution:
* main `BLAS.dot` methods should only accept `Ptr`s or `DenseArray`s
* helper `BLAS.dot` methods should only accept `DenseArray`s and
  `StridedVector`s, the pass `Ptr`s to the main `BLAS.dot` methods
cleanup input argument types for BLAS.nrm2 and BLAS.asum

The problem for `BLAS.nrm2` is allowing `StridedVectors` in the main
method.  This is demonstraded with the following code:

```julia
using Base.BLAS
a = ones(6)
a[2:2:6] = 0
b = sub(a,2:2:6)
n1 = BLAS.nrm2(b)
n2 = BLAS.nrm2(3,b,1)
println("b: $b")
println("BLAS.nrm2(b):     $n1")
println("BLAS.nrm2(3,b,1): $n2")
```

Output:

```
b: [0.0,0.0,0.0]
BLAS.nrm2(b):     0.0
BLAS.nrm2(3,b,1): 1.0
```

Fix:

* Main `BLAS.nrm2` (and `BLAS.asum`) methods now accept `Ptr` and
  `DenseArray`

* Method specialized for a `StridedVector` passes a `Ptr` to the main
  method.

* Fix is the same for both `BLAS.nrm2` and `BLAS.asum`
