Subject: [PATCH] Add validation to prevent empty names in ImageResizer size
presets (#45425)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

## Summary of the Pull Request
Prevents users from clearing the name field in ImageResizer size preset
edit dialog. Empty names made the UI confusing without causing errors.

## Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments
Added validation guard in `ImageSize.Name` property setter:
```csharp
public string Name
{
get => _name;
set
{
if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(value))
{
SetProperty(ref _name, value);
}
}
}
```
Invalid assignments (empty, null, whitespace) are silently ignored,
preserving the existing value. This matches the existing pattern used
for `FileName` validation in `ImageResizerViewModel`.
TwoWay binding in UI causes the TextBox to revert when users attempt to
clear the field—standard behavior for required fields.
## Validation Steps Performed
- Added unit test `ImageSizeNameShouldNotBeSetToEmptyOrNull()` covering
all rejection and acceptance cases
- Verified silent rejection behavior matches `FileName` property pattern

> **Detailed description:**
> While users edit an image size in the ImageResizer settings on PT's
settings ux they are able to clear the name of the image size. This
doesn't lead to errors/exceptions, but it also doesn't make sense to
have sizes without a name. So we should prevent user from doing this in
the edit dialog.
>
> _**Note:**_
> This is the second and last change that is needed to prevent the users
from having incorrect image size settings (#8698). But I think this is
not as relevant, because a missing name won't break image resizing._
