 App Passwords: Don't prevent non-unique App Password names.

 In [50030] we enforced that Application Passwords have unique names. This
 was done with the assumption that applications would not connect to a user
 multiple times. However, in practice we've seen applications run into
 issues with the unique name constraint. Depending on the app, they may not
 know if they've been authorized before, or they may intentionally allow
 connecting multiple times. To prevent friction, App developers need to
 make their App Name unique, and in doing so often include things like the
 current date & time, which is already included in the App Passwords list
 table.

 This commit removes this requirement to simplify usage of the Authorize
 Application flow.

 Props mark-k, Boniu91, timothyblynjacobs, peterwilsoncc.
 Fixes #54213.
