Adding note on entity naming (#3677)

Adding troubleshooting note about entity names.

I wonder if this needs called out into its own section in the introductory documents though.

### {% linkable_title Entity names %}
The only characters valid in entity names are:
* Lowercase letters
* Numbers
* Underscores
If you create an entity with other characters then Home Assistant may not generate an error for that entity. However you will find that attempts to use that entity will generate errors (or possibly fail silently).
