cannot create components with digits in the name

[Alfonso Sanchez-Beato]

snapcraft.yaml with this content:

name: abeato-snap-with-comps
version: 1.0
summary: Snap with components
description: A snap that defines components
base: core24
confinement: strict
components:
  comp1:
    type: test

produces error:

$ snapcraft
Bad snapcraft.yaml content:
- Component names can only use ASCII lowercase letters and hyphens (in field 'components')

while it is a valid name for snapd (validation is the same as for snap names).

Thanks for the report. I purposefully restricted numbers from component names. I thought I did this based on SD149 but I no longer can find that requirement in the spec.

The required work is straightforward:
1. Update craft-parts to allow numbers in namespaced partitions.
2. Update snapcraft to use the same validation for snap names and component names.
