Change system list requirements to allow spaces in the system names

Currently system names can only contain alphanumeric, hyphen, and underscore characters. Spaces can be included in system tags, however, it is the system NAME that is used if a system is assigned to created a swimlane.

This means that system names that should have spaces either have no spaces or underscores.

The fact that it looks a bit "ugly" is a blocker for some users adopting Promapp and I have been asked to add some of the systems as roles instead because it looks nicer (see example attached).

System names should be able to be inputted as they are seen and written in other contexts.

    With the transition of Promapp to Process Manager, even your own System name will have to either be ProcessManager or Process_Manager when referenced as a System and then tagged as Process Manager. I've attempted this and couldn't get it to read the System and changed it back to Promapp so it referenced the System accordingly.

    Thanks for the suggestion. We don't have this on our roadmap right now, but we'll monitor interest from other clients.

    100% agree, this is ridiculous restriction. No-one intuitively types 'Nintex_Promapp' when writing a step. Example: 'Sign in to Nintex Promapp' not 'Sign in to Nintex_Promapp'. Promapp is supposed to automatically tag when the system is mentioned, so _ makes no sense.

    We have multiple system names that contain more than one word and adding underscores, hyphens or merging as one word looks incredibly unprofessional.
