Allow users provide name for mocks

[GoogleCodeExporter]

As we are going to provide default behavior for toString(), we'd better
allow users provide name for mocks. For example:

def mock = mock(Date, name: "date mock")
play {
  assertEquals "date mock", mock.toString()
}

And the default name would be "Mock for (the class name)".

That's not a bad idea. The syntax should probably follow the constructor and
invokeConstructor:
def mock = mock(Date, name("date mock"))

That will make the signatures of mock() very complicated.

I agree it's getting more complicated... I think we should provide an Object...
signature and find out what has been provided by the user.

That may be not easy to implement, as it is hard to cover all cases and handle 
all
errors.

Seems it is not that difficult, I am going to have a try.
