refactor(mock): rename validation functions and improve error handling

[naman-bruno]

Description

BRU-4196

Problem

When creating a mock response (Responses tab), the Name field has multiple validation gaps: special characters are accepted, there is no 255-character cap matching Bruno's other naming rules, duplicate names are allowed on the same mock server, and leading or trailing spaces are accepted.

Walkthrough

The change replaces length-only mock response name validation with shared validation. Create and rename modals now show live input errors, retain submit errors, validate trimmed names, and disable actions for invalid input. Tests cover empty, invalid, reserved, and boundary names.

Changes

Mock response name validation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Shared name validation contract packages/bruno-app/src/utils/mock-server/mock-responses.js, packages/bruno-app/src/utils/mock-server/mock-responses.spec.js	The shared validator now uses common name-validation utilities. getMockResponseNameInputError permits blank input and reports invalid non-blank names. Tests cover character, length, reserved-name, whitespace, and boundary cases.
Create, rename, and top-bar validation flow packages/bruno-app/src/components/MockServer/MockResponse/CreateMockResponseModal/index.js, packages/bruno-app/src/components/MockServer/MockResponse/RenameMockResponseModal/index.js, packages/bruno-app/src/components/MockServer/MockResponse/MockResponseTopBar/index.js	The create and rename modals combine live input errors with submit-time and duplicate-name errors. They trim names before validation and disable actions for invalid input. The top bar uses the new input validator.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to 69179

The change improves mock response name validation but still allows empty names to be saved and silently accepts names with leading or trailing spaces. These behaviors can create invalid or inconsistent mock response names, so the PR is not merge-ready until both cases are corrected.

Poem

Names meet the rules in a tidy row,
Live errors guide each keystroke’s flow.
Blank fields wait; bad names glow,
Submit checks catch duplicates below.
Mock responses now validate as they go.

names separately from getMockResponseNameInputError, keeping validation errors
quiet while typing; ensure Save remains disabled when the Name field is empty
and add a UI test that clears the field and verifies the disabled state.
