For VM objects, it seems to be possible to start VM's with invalid names:

sudo ignite run weaveworks/ignite-ubuntu:20.04 \
  --name -my-vm

Invalid names should fail Object Meta validation like so:

The VM "-my-vm" is invalid: metadata.name: Invalid value: "-my-vm": a DNS-1123 subdomain must consist of lower case alphanumeric characters, '-' or '.', and must start and end with an alphanumeric character (e.g. 'example.com', regex used for validation is '[a-z0-9]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])?(\.[a-z0-9]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])?)*')

The validation for the VM object is already run as a final step before actually creating a VM, but we need to add Object Meta to the ValidateVM function.

We should also check our other Validate functions.
