exp run: Parameter name does not support backslashes

See original GitHub issue

Bug Report

Description

In GH CI is useful to reuse the ENV var GITHUB_REPOSITORY if not the workflow is even uglier in bash. A plausible solution would be to use a hash function internally to generate an “ID” from the name or throw an error with illegal chars. If that would be accepted I can prepare a PR 🚀

Reproduce

In any experiment try to setup a name with backslashes

dvc exp run --name wont/work

Expected

To work or at least a log related to wrong naming.

@dberenbaum we probably need to add the linked issues to the next sprint since it’s affecting CML now

Also, for CML team reference, exp names have to be valid git branch names (so they can’t contain slashes).
