Require non-empty captures in the four field regexps 
denote-{identifier,signature,title,keywords}-regexp used a lazy
zero-or-more capture ([^.]*?), so they matched the bare separator
followed by an extension, e.g. __.js, --.org, ==.org, @@.org. Combined
with denote-file-has-denoted-filename-p, this meant such files were
treated as valid denote notes. lodash's node_modules ships __.js files,
which made a denote-directory containing a lodash checkout enumerate
junk candidates in the file prompt (and previously crash, see preceding
commit).

Switch to a non-empty lazy capture ([^.]+?) so the field must contain at
least one character.

denote: Simple notes with an efficient file-naming scheme

New to Denote? Start reading this from the manual: https://protesilaos.com/emacs/denote#h:c54bedb4-5377-4dbd-853c-5870ace6eb33.

Denote is a simple note-taking tool for Emacs. It is based on the idea that notes should follow a predictable and descriptive file-naming scheme. The file name must offer a clear indication of what the note is about, without reference to any other metadata. Denote basically streamlines the creation of such files while providing facilities to link between them.

Denote's file-naming scheme is not limited to "notes". It can be used for all types of file, including those that are not editable in Emacs, such as videos. Naming files in a consistent way makes their filtering and retrieval considerably easier. Denote provides relevant facilities to rename files, regardless of file type.
