(cdk bootstrap): Crashes if project name uses a underscore

[edumats]

Describe the bug

I create a project named temporary_urls when I got the following error when I run cdk bootstrap:
jsii.errors.JSIIError: Stack name must match the regular expression: /^[A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9-]*$/, got 'temporary_urls'

CDK appears to give the project's name to the Stack and it fails if the name does not pass the regex verification, as the _ is not included in the regex.

Expected Behavior

I wouldn't expect CDK to fail like this as it is fairly common to use underscores for project names and the regex rule is quite restrictive. CDK should have alerted me when I defined my name in cdk new-project if my project name has a problem.

Current Behavior

When a project name includes underscores, CDK give an error message that points to the Stack name as the source of the problem, but not the project's name:

jsii.errors.JavaScriptError: 
  Error: Stack name must match the regular expression: /^[A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9-]*$/, got 'temporary_urls'

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Thanks for reaching out. Could you provide any more context or information on how you created your project/stack? If you run cdk init as documented here then it should create the valid stack names. That being said, it looks like there are related issues such as #23098 regarding confusion over the validation of underscores in stack names.
