When no name is specified in mdx file, it throws Cannot read property 'name' of undefined

Bug Report

To Reproduce

Create an MDX file with no name specified. It will generate the error:

$ docz dev
TypeError: Cannot read property 'name' of undefined
    at new Entry (.../frontend/node_modules/docz-core/dist/index.js:1:5189)
    at Promise.all.s.filter.map (.../frontend/node_modules/docz-core/dist/index.js:1:7654)
    at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:68:7)
    at Function.Module.runMain (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:746:11)
    at startup (internal/bootstrap/node.js:238:19)
    at bootstrapNodeJSCore (internal/bootstrap/node.js:572:3)

Expected behavior

Provide a helpful error message that $path/to/file.mdx does not contain a name.

It probably occurs at this line but couldn’t find out how to run docz without using the dist version to validate: https://github.com/pedronauck/docz/blob/master/packages/docz-core/src/Entry.ts#L98

@pedronauck I would like to take this up.The solution I am thinking here is throwing an error with the message of $path/to/file.mdx does not contain a name.
