Tasks have no default unique id/name

[romilbhardwaj]

In sky.Task, we do not have any unique identifier for a task. The name field is perhaps intended to be an identifier, but if it is not specified by the user, it defaults to None.

The LocalDockerBackend requires a unique identifier for each task so it can assign container names and track associated volume mounts assigned during build time.

Possible solution: Randomly generate a task name if it is not specified by the user.
