Title: Extend basename with optional argument for extension matching

When invoked with two args, files/basename will now return filename sans extension if the second arg matches the extension; more generally, it will remove any closing substring that matches the arg, just like its Unix counterpart.

Currently, the files/basename function only wraps [path.basename](http://nodejs.org/api/path.html#path_path_basename_p_ext) without the optional extension argument.

It's a triviality, but the less js interop is unnecessarily exposed to plugin devs, the merrier we are.
