Fix the script name to match codebase references.

The changelog entry refers to "uci-autoname script", but the actual script in the codebase is named "openwisp-uci-autoname" (with the openwisp- prefix). This is evident from the script location (openwisp-config/files/sbin/openwisp-uci-autoname.lua), Makefile installation ($(1)/usr/sbin/openwisp-uci-autoname), and previous changelog entries (lines 177, 190) which all reference "openwisp-uci-autoname". Update the entry to: "Fixed UCI name escaping in openwisp-uci-autoname script"
