Change Summary
Overview
This updates the XTCE generator to produce a period between the packet name and the mnemonic name, which helps for subsequent parsing.
Additionally, use that helpful fact to strip that leading packet name in the packet_file_to_datasets routine.
Testing
I did test this out manually by modifying an XTCE file to ensure that the stripping works as expected, but there aren't any other packet definitions with a packet name to make this easily testable yet. Maybe we'll update some of the packet definitions soon to exercise this.
