Allow setting display name on codespace create

Describe the feature or problem you’d like to solve

I'd like to be able to set the display name for a codespace when I create it, so that I don't have to immediately edit it after creating it.

Proposed solution

Add -d/--display-name argument to gh cs create same as it exists on gh cs edit to safe time

Additional context

N/A

Took a look at this and I believe there's a bug in the POST /user/codespaces endpoint. It seems to be ignoring display_name.

gh api \
  --method POST \
  -H "Accept: application/vnd.github+json" \
  /user/codespaces \
  -F repository_id=384471828 \
 -f ref='trunk' \
 -f display_name='hello'

... was my test request with my own repo.

I noticed the same behavior as @despreston and confirmed that's a shortcoming in the API. This seems like a bug since the API docs for codespace creation list display_name as an optional param so I opened an issue for the codespaces team

@luanzeba

@luanzeba Thx. If you can respond here when that's fixed I can resume work on this 👍

@despreston

👋 @despreston We shipped a fix for this today! The gh api snippet you shared should work as expected.
