Copy the first two fields from https://sourceforge.net/register-project/ essentially. That is, adding the URL field and providing it's "Suggest" button. But don't use "unix name" anywhere. And can s/project/p/ in the URL prefix

Validation work is in [#1815]

    The sfx API doesn't enforce some constraints (like len(unixname) >= 3) so we need to make sure that it is enforced in the API or the Allura side.

-Also, provide better error messages in the event that they occur.  Currently you get a "Error status 400" when an invalid shortname is submitted.

    This is ready for review on js/1724 in Allura and ForgeClassic.

    To test:
    1) Go to /p/add_project.
    2) Enter a Project Name such as "New Project#"
    3) Press suggest.
    4) Observe that "newproject" is suggested for the url and that a message states it is available.
    5) Click Start and observe project is created correctly.
    6) Do steps 1-3 over, but observe a message that states it is not available.

    Note: The sandbox test data does not seem to include the default allura projects, so entering "test" will not trigger the not available message. It does work for any projects you create once the sandbox is built.
