Make workspace names configurable in devcontainer.json #1909

Description

@Lesekater

Is your feature request related to a problem?
No.

Which solution do you suggest?
I suggest using the "name" key in the devcontainer.json (see for example: homeassistant) to name workspaces or having another custom key to configure the workspace name on a by-repository basis which can be checked in with the repo.

Which alternative solutions exist?
Creating a custom script or alias to append --id <name> to every devpod up . command.

Additional context
I have a project file structure which follows the pattern /website, /app, etc. When creating a workspace with devpod up . in a project, this creates by default a workspace with the name "website" or "app". Currently I see no easy option to circumvent this without extra custom scripts/ aliases.
