Description

Add a small naming utilities module to core Kedro.

Development notes

• Pure Python utility with no new dependencies.
• Backward compatible. Adds a new module only.
• Unit tests in tests/test_naming.py cover:
  • basic slugging, collapse of underscores, leading digit guard, empty/invalid input
  • uniqueness logic across consecutive collisions
  • type validation
• Ran tests locally with pytest -q tests/test_naming.py.
