[reltool] Use application name from .app file instead of directory name
In the first traversal of library directories, reltool used only the directory names in order to figure out application names. This would succeed if the directory name was AppName only or AppName-AppVsn and AppVsn consisted of integers separated by dots only. If the AppVsn has any other format, then reltool would not find the correct application name. With this commit, reltool will first look for a .app file and use the .app file name as the application name. This will allow different formats of the version identifier in the directory name. Note that reltool can still not sort (and select the latest) amongst version identifiers of other format than integers separated by dots.
