The problem is that half of the plugins will quietly ignore the 
parameter and the other half (dir based plugins) will return a disk name 
they cannot even handle when add_fmt_suffix=0. I'd rather avoid such a 
surprising interface.

The same criticism applies to the plugin's interface, but at least there 
the calls come from the plugins themselves, which know what they need/want.

Two potential solutions:

1) Remove the add_fmt_suffix parameter from the plugin's 
find_free_diskname and either:
a) add custom implementations to the non-dir-based plugins, never adding 
the suffix.
b) adapt the generic implementation to add the suffix depending on 
whether $scfg->{path} is present or not.

2) Add a new function to the plugin interface, returning whether the 
plugin expects a suffix to be added or not, and use that in this patch's 
proposed find_free_diskname.

IMHO 1) is much cleaner, but also a breaking change to the plugin API. 
But currently APIAGE is 0, so it wouldn't be as bad.
