Deprecate table names containing dots

Dots have special meaning in most backends (e.g. everything except
SQLite3), as well as most methods that work with table or column names.
This isn't something that we ever explicitly supported, but there's at
least one case of somebody using this (see #24367), so we'll go through a deprecation
cycle as normal.
