build: Allow alphanumeric test name suffixes
To allow test names to be more descriptive, allow a suffix to be
added to the numeric name of the test. e.g. a test can be named
"tests/generic/001-some-descriptive-name".
Name suffixes are limited to alphanumeric characters and dash - the
name is always prefixed with an unique id for easy identification
of a specific test. Hence we can still use shorthand forms such as
"generic/001" when referring to a test and be clearly understood.
