Automatic naming of modules when choosing a preset - neat!

I’m glad it’s here now. I requested it a year ago, but was told it’s a bad idea.

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.** Not a proble…m, rather an inconvenience. darktable ships with many modules that offer useful presets. Sometimes one may employ several instances (e.g., _color calibration_ could be used for white balance/adaptation, as a channel mixer, for film simulation; _diffuse or sharpen_ to reduce noise, apply local contrast, inpaint highlights etc.). In such cases, the order is usually important, and to set up / verify the order, the name is helpful. **Describe the solution you'd like** I suggest automatically assigning the name of the preset as the name of the module instance, if the module instance is created using a name, with perhaps a numeric suffix (as it is done currently) to ensure uniqueness. **Alternatives** Renaming manually is already possible.
