Is CodeList.name needed?

[phackstock]

As we were discussing #226, I was wondering if there is any use for the CodeList.name attribute.
I was looking over the code and I didn't really find any.
I suppose it's good to remove?
What do you think @danielhuppmann?

It was originally intended to store the dimension of the CodeList (region, variable, scenario). Given that we will not have dedicated sub-classes for all possible dimensions (because a user could always create a new dimension), I would keep it for now.

But if that's not yet the case, we can ensure that the name attribute is always matched to the dimension name for the sub-classes.
