Handle incorrect syntax in an idf file more gracefully about idfplus HOT 7 CLOSED

This partially addresses #26. A dialog will now warn if the name of an idf object is not valid (according to the idd file).

Should be more forgiving with capitalization. Should convert case before check if an object name is valid, but always write files using exactly the capitalization found in the IDD file.

Issue #34 was marked as a duplicate of this issue.

As seen in Issue #34 the types of objects present is also important. There should be a validation that takes place when the file is loaded and then report to the user on the "quality" of the idf file, or just load it as best we can.

Noticed that even the IDD file has some errors like commas in /field tags. This messes up the parsing of these objects.

It would be relatively easy to always convert object classes to lower case and do all comparisons with the converted version, however, in the sidebar (class view) it is easier to read things capitalized as expected (i.e. Site:GroundReflectance instead of site:groundreflectance). So, do properly fix this issue I need to save both versions - one for use as in index for comparison and the other for a nice visual representation.

Closing as resolved unless I can find specific cases where it still is the case. Issue #44 was that last outstanding one that I know of.
