Request
When accepting a pairing request (entering the PIN), also let me type a name for the device, e.g. "Living room TV" or "Kids tablet".

Why
Renaming already works afterwards in the clients list (thanks!), but right after pairing the new client is just a long number. With several devices pairing around the same time you have to guess which number is which before you can name it. Asking for the name in the same PIN dialog avoids that. As a default, the devicename that Moonlight sends with the pairing request could be filled in.

(Moved here from games-on-whales/wolf#529, since the naming already lives in Wolf Den.)
