Permit special field in paths passed to OS_CLI
Timothy E Baldwin authored 
OS_CLI permits commands to be prefixed with a temporary filing
system, for example "ADFS:Format"

It also passes commands unrecognised to FileSwitch to be executed,
so "ADFS::HardDisc4.$.!Boot" first sets the temporary filing to
ADFS then executes ":HardDisc4.$.!Boot".

This does not work if the path contains a special field,
currently this results in an error as the special filed
would be lost.

Unfortunately many programs, including the RISC OS source
fail because of this.

Instead if a filing system prefix with special field
is found switch to the Temporary filing system and
treat the whole command as a path to execute. For example
passing "IXFS#W:$.HardDisc4.!Boot" sets the temporary filing
system to "IXFS" then executes "IXFS#W:$.HardDisc4.!Boot".
