Enforce chars in [a-z0-9/-] for id fields (jobs, templates, categories)

[pieqq]

Bug Description

Currently, Checkbox accepts almost any characters in the id and template-id fields of jobs, templates, test plans and categories. However, the documentation mentions

id:

(mandatory) - A name for the job. Should be unique, an error will be generated if there are duplicates. Should contain characters in [a-z0-9/-].

A potential problem is that if a unit id uses a character used in a regular expression, that unit id will look like a regular expression when including/excluding it in a test plan. This can lead to many issues (such as units being ignored).

Validation rules should be in place so that ./manage.py validate should return errors if a unit id/template-id includes any characters other than [a-z0-9/-].
