shelve: choose a legal shelve name when no name is passed (issue5112) Currently if our branch name contains '\' or starts with '.', shelve chooses an illegal shelve name. This behaviour is not good as it itself is choosing something which it won't accept further. We can raise errors if user passes a name which is illegal. After this patch, if '\' is contained in branch name or bookmark name, it will be replaced by '_' while choosing a shelve name and if they starts with '.', the first '.' is replaced by '_'.

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
