Commit dbf78da59e79716979c29261913c4661e342ac9b in solr's branch 
refs/heads/branch_9x from Will White

SOLR-16820: Allow semVer style collection names (amongst others) (#1688)

The previous collection name validation didn't match the validation
used in the CreateCollectionAPI, so it was possible to create a
collection name (e.g. `foobar-1.2.3`) that wouldn't pass validation
at this stage via the PackageTool deploy/undeploy commands.

> It's possible to create a collection via the CreateCollectionAPI which 
> [passes validation from the 
> SolrIdentifierValidation|https://github.com/apache/solr/blob/main/solr/solrj/src/java/org/apache/solr/client/solrj/util/SolrIdentifierValidator.java#L50-L52]
>  (a regex which among other elements includes the '.' character), but that 
> same collection name won't then pass validation when deployed/undeployed via 
> the PackageTool because of the [packagemanager.PackageUtils 
> validateCollection() 
> method|https://github.com/apache/solr/blob/main/solr/core/src/java/org/apache/solr/packagemanager/PackageUtils.java#L271].
> A change [like this, using the existing 
> SolrIdentifierValidator|https://github.com/apache/solr/commit/638fd768ebd7ed7908029ced08e56bed05a4a2a5]
>  would bring the two validation steps back in line, although there's 
> presumably a better approach.
> *Potential risks*
> As highlighted by Gus Heck [in this 
> thread|https://lists.apache.org/thread/h7hnksgqwxxl7nkwkhn01r6jn8xjkjjs] 
> changing the validation of collection names could be a risky change to make. 
> The source of the PackageUtils regex appears to be 
> [https://github.com/apache/lucene-solr/pull/994] from before Solr split from 
> the Lucene project, and it seems that the regex wasn't crafted for a specific 
> subset of use cases that specifically excluded the '.' character - it just 
> appears to be the regex implemented at the time.
> Using the {{SolrIdentifierValidator}} approach mentioned above as an example, 
> other than disallowing a collection name that begins with a '-' character, 
> the {{SolrIdentifierValidator.identifierPattern}} would be a strict expansion 
> of the allowed collection names for the 
> {{{}PackageUtils.validateCollections{}}}. Any other solution (such as [this 
> more naive 
> example|https://github.com/apache/solr/blame/998fffdccf51a0560589e2cb413e9da127a5f26e/solr/core/src/java/org/apache/solr/packagemanager/PackageUtils.java#L271])
>  could similarly mitigate a lot of the potential risk by only expanding the 
> allowed collection names.
