Raise an error if function name is blank for New Plugin Model (Trac #770)

[pkienzle]

There is no error if the new plugin model name is blank, but the resulting function won't show up in the list of custom models.

Default the name to blank so that the user is required to provide a meaningful name.

The same issue applies to the Sum|Multi case too.

Don't understand how starting out with a blank function name helps any though? Wouldn't it be better to test for an empty string?

Indeed it would be better to start with a predefined (default) name - the less the user has to add/modify the more "friendly" the control is, I guess.

Do we need to worry about the backend? Will sasmodels catch attempts to pass ".py"?
