Bug Description

When unicode characters are used to create stack, heat reports error message.

Please refer below for details:

[root@Liberty1 ~(keystone_admin)]# heat stack-create sheel_πŸŒ‹ --template-file xyz.yml
ERROR: Invalid stack name sheel_πŸŒ‹ must contain only alphanumeric or "_-." characters, must start with alpha

Though heat handles this gracefully by providing proper error message but it still restricts user to user unicode character in naming stack.

This should be fixed.

summary: - support for unicode character hanling in stack-create operation
+ support for unicode character handling in stack-create operation

This isn't a bug, it's the intended behaviour. Stack names can end up getting used in a lot of places where arbitrary unicode is not valid (e.g. default hostnames).

Note that this isn't a case of not supporting Unicode per se; we also don't support most ASCII characters. And we support even fewer being the first character.
