Won't download Google Analytics module

[stpaultim]

D2B module is telling me that the Google Analytics module is available. But, it does not download it even after multiple attempts.

Given how popular this module is I think we should either try to fix this problem or put some warning explaining that this does not work.

From what I remember the problem is that name is changed from google_analytics (in D7) to googleanalytics (backdrop).

Google Analytics is the 12th most popular module for Backdrop CMS and probably used by most sites that will be using the upgrade.

If there is a way to do a special check for Google Analytics and automatically adjust, that would save a lot of people time scratching their heads.

If not, we should at least document the problem, either by placing a "notification" about the problem in the UI OR at least a note in the Readme file.

I've created a draft PR that simply adds a note to the README file. Feel free to edit and improve or come up with a better solution. But, since this is a known problem that will likely affect many users, I think it makes sense to document it somewhere easy to find.

If we go with this approach, I think there are other known issues worth documenting in this way. For example, the "Files" tab.

Hmm... perhaps there should be a way to map old D7 names to new Backdrop names, and account for those changes when attempting to download. We will encounter this with a few other modules, such as profile2 -> profile

Just doing another upgrade and running into this problem again.
