#87 FR: pradmin should validate new loccode names

[Ravin Amarasuriya]

I am not sure whether name validation is done by
pradmin when
creating new loccodes.

I ran into an instance where pradmin allowed using a
underscore when creating a new loccode name and this
caused problems for the script am-update when it tried
to update AM .

Need to ensure that underscore character is not
allowed when naming loccodes.

This is because the am placeholders for unused
ipaddress in BOOTP pool uses the > loccode as part of
the name and AM doesn't allow it. So the script (
am-update ) that updates AM fails when updating these
entries..

Here is an example
