Deprecate asFileName and re-write senders

[hernanmd]

As reported in this pharo issue, this PR should be applied along with the PR in pharo repository. It is a small PR to clean dependencies which could bring problems when removing old FileList.

I have a question why the code is not "as simple as" FileReference new withPath: ....

I have a question why the code is not "as simple as" FileReference new withPath: ....

Apparently the file name re-"encoding" is just to replace characters such as $/ with $# before saving the file. It is more a direct translation, but I never used newWithPath: so I'd need to check.

What I means is that if String >> asFileName is doing something too complex it means that such complex behavior should be moved to fileReference so that

• asFileName can be rewritten in a simpler way
• users of asfilename can be rewritten simply too. So may be the logic of asFileName should be migrated to FileReference

I'm restarting the CI because I have the impression the error is not related

Hi @hernanmd Can you have a look because I would like to integrate it?

@jecisc I wonder if your merging of packages did not impact this PR can you have a look?
