Add name-generation test

Podman's container-name generation depends on the global RNG state being
properly initialized (seeded).  Should this not happen for some reason
(or it's seeded with a static value), podman will generate the exact
same repeating sequence of container names (assuming no clashes with
existing containers).  Add a test to confirm this is always the case.

// This test may seem entirely pointless, it is not. Due to compatibility
// and historical reasons, the container name generator uses a globally
// scoped RNG, seeded from a global state. An easy way to check if its
// been initialized properly (i.e. pseudo-non-deterministically) is
// checking if the name-generator spits out the same name twice. Because
// existing containers are checked when generating names, the test must ensure
// the first container is removed before creating a second.
