TimerTrigger functions shouldn't be required to specify a name.

This caused me quite a bit of pain with my compiled functions. I just wanted to call my function on a schedule and I didn't care about logging or the TimerInfo class. So I set it up and without the name property and got all kinds of issues. Then I realized there is no way to call a function unless you pass in a TimerInfo and give it a name in the function.json... This isn't very user friendly and kind of confusing when you just want to call a parameterless function....

We intentionally do this for both user experience and functional reasons. If there is more feedback that this is annoying, we can revisit.

The name is required. At this point, there are no plans to support the "no name" scenario. Thanks for your suggestion.
