Invalidate Component names that contain characters that denote an Output, Channel or an alias #2007

Currently special characters like |, :, and () are not flagged as invalid for Component names since we use them to denote an Output name following | and can specify its Channel for a list Output with :, or supply an alias within () when connecting to an Input. These special characters are used to serialize Input connections, but we should validate Output/Channel paths (with aliases) apart from the Component's name.

This was raised in #1955.

Add check to ensure "\" is caught correctly.
