Bug description:
  Currently snapd accepts app names that can cause issues in the rest of
  the system (e.g. invalid apparmor profiles like "myapp/", or clashing
  with hook names). These should be more restrictive: the current
  recommendation is `^[a-zA-Z0-9](?:-?[a-zA-Z0-9])*$`.

  [Impact]

   * snaps with invalid names are generated and installable.

   * blocking problems earlier will make the experience better.

  [Test Case]

   * For snapcraft: make a snapcraft.yaml with an invalid name, and run
  snapcraft.

   * For snappy: make a snap with an invalid name, and try to install
  it.

  [Regression Potential]

   * Valid names could be affected. Run some tests on valid names too.
