Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/games-on-whales/wolf/issues/529

Request
Let paired clients have a name (e.g. "Living room TV", "Kids tablet"), stored in Wolf and returned by /api/v1/clients.

Why
With several people/devices the client list is just long numbers, so it's hard to tell which one to remove. Moonlight already sends a devicename when pairing, so Wolf could save that as the default name, and allow changing it via the API. (Wolf Den keeps its own aliases, but other tools and the Wolf UI can't see them.)

Closing this one: renaming clients already works in Wolf Den, so the remaining wish (naming a device in the same step as entering the PIN) belongs there. Moved to games-on-whales/wolf-den#22.
