Resolves #16433
When
uv initinfers a project name from the working directory, directories with characters outside the PEP 503 rules produced the generic “Not a valid package or extra name” message that didn’t explain the source of the problem. This change intercepts that failure, reports whether the current or explicit target directory caused it, and tells the user to supply an explicit--name.
