Description
We introduced the special `".metadata"` data object and it makes sense to reserve all other data objects (and even whole sub-objects) whose name start with a `.`.
Follow up of #10179.

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by locating the Yul validation for data objects and sub-objects, then trace how unknown names are handled. Done means names beginning with `.` are rejected unless they are the special `.metadata` object, with coverage for both objects and sub-objects.
