config: allow Array line to contain array name without /dev/md/ prefix.
For consistency with --create and --assemble, allow the array name
given in mdadm.conf to exclude the "/dev/md/" prefix. So e.g.
ARRAY home uuid=whatever
is treated like
ARRAY /dev/md/home uuid=whatever
Also exclude names which create_mddev will reject.
