Based on feedback, a few adjustments have been made to the identifier
requirements. Identifiers that have components that start with a number
are now allowed. This violates RFC 1035 but does not do so for dns names
practically. A total length, of 76 characters is now also enforced. This
decision was completely arbitrary but satifies the requirement for a
maximum length. Often, this is used as the maximum length of a line in
editors, so it should be a good choice.

A few days ago, we added validation for namespaces. We've decided to
expand these naming rules to include containers. To facilitate this, a
common package `identifiers` now provides a common validation area.
These rules will be extended to apply to task identifiers, snapshot keys
and other areas where user-provided identifiers may be used.
