exception in any query using get_account_sort_key when localizing account names

[azrdev]

I noticed the "holdings" tab in my fava only shows me the exception quoted below, clicking on "Query" and boiling down a minimal working example blames get_account_sort_key in conjunction with renamed (top-level) accounts.

exception:

$ bean-query mwe.beancount 'SELECT account, account_sortkey(account) '
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.10/cmd.py", line 214, in onecmd
    func = getattr(self, 'do_' + cmd)
AttributeError: 'BQLShell' object has no attribute 'do_SELECT'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

The issue is not the renamed root accounts, but the fact that the account names assigned to the root accounts are leaf accounts. Namely, these options are invalid:

option "name_equity" "Passiva:Eigenkapital"
option "name_income" "EK:Einnahmen"
option "name_expenses" "EK:Ausgaben"

There cannot be an account name separator : in the names of these accounts. It seems that the validator for these options does not catch this error.

We should probably detect that and issue an appropriate error.
