Signal error and specify name

- desktop-registry.el (desktop-registry-add-directory): Add an optional
  NAME parameter which will be asked for (in an interactive context)
  when the universal argument is used. Print a message if the specified
  directory has already been registered, signal an error when the (given
  or generated) name has already been used and only add the directory if
  neither of these conditions occur.

  (desktop-registry-add-current-desktop): Add optional NAME parameter
  which will be asked for (in an interactive context) when the universal
  argument is used and pass it on to `desktop-registry-add-directory'.
