Change the type of `Microgrid.name` from `str | None` to `str`. Represent the absence of a name as `""` (matching the protobuf default) rather than `None`, so consumers don't have to distinguish between "no name" and "empty name" — the two are semantically identical. `microgrid_from_proto` now assigns `message.name` directly since protobuf string fields default to `""` when unset.

Now that `Microgrid.name` is `str` and represents the absence of a name as `""`, having no name is not an issue worth flagging. Drop the `minor_issues` bookkeeping in `microgrid_from_proto` (it was only used for the empty-name case) and the accompanying DEBUG log. Signed-off-by: Leandro Lucarella <luca-frequenz@llucax.com>
Change the type of `ElectricalComponent.name` from `str | None` to `str`. Represent the absence of a name as `""` (matching the protobuf default) rather than `None`, so consumers don't have to distinguish between "no name" and "empty name" — the two are semantically identical. The intermediate `_ElectricalComponentBaseData.name` and the proto conversion helpers are updated to match; tests that constructed concrete components without a name now pass `name=""` explicitly.

Now that `ElectricalComponent.name` is `str` and represents the absence of a name as `""`, having no name is not an issue worth flagging. Drop the `name is empty` minor issue in `_electrical_component_base_from_proto_with_issues` and inline `message.name` in the resulting `_ElectricalComponentBaseData`.

Microgrid.nameandElectricalComponent.namewere typedstr | None, forcing consumers to distinguish between "no name" and an empty name — semantically identical states, since the underlying protobufnamefields default to""when unset.Change both to

As a consequence, thename is emptyminor issue reported bymicrogrid_from_protoand_electrical_component_base_from_proto_with_issuesis no longer meaningful — being unnamed is now valid rather than an issue worth flagging — so it is removed.Part of #239.
