Hmmm, we have the default extension ".geany" for Geany project files.
So, specific extension for a specific filetype. It is just changeable
by an user who wants to change it.
As long as the user don't change it, it will be ".geany" and it will be
shown in the project open dialog (and even if not, the file filter can
still be changed to "All files"). 
In other words: why should we NOT allow the user to choose any other
extension if he wants to? The extension doesn't have any deeper meaning
at this point. So, why limit the user in his will?
