When installing an extension that has an undefined displayName the extensions section gets broken

Bug description

If an extension does not have a display name the extensions section is broken.

It fails at

  const result = await window.listExtensions();
  result.sort((a, b) => a.displayName.localeCompare(b.displayName));
  extensionInfos.set(result);
}

Operating system

Steps to reproduce

1. install quay.io/lstocchi/sample-podman-extension:v1
2. check that your extensions section is broken

maybe we should prevent the loading of the extension (or the installation)

[deboer-tim]

I was just going to give extensions a default name like "Unknown", and maybe a description too b/c the UI looks odd. But yes, we could refuse to install extensions unless they have a default set of configuration. Maybe name/displayName/description/version/publisher?

[lstocchi]

Yeah better, another problem was that i could not stop/remove the extension. And i guess it was due to another missing property.

[benoitf]

yes, let's avoid any unexpected behaviour. Fail fast (no load or install)

created also #2880

Stopping extension install when there are missing attributes: easy, 1 min. UI gives no feedback if the install fails: may take slightly longer. :)
