Naming rules inconsistencies

[papanikge]

Hello all,

Here's the situation. Apache Avro spec has some naming guidelines for Record, enums and fixed. This library correctly checks that and fails when a file has a badly named field.

However, the official Avro library does not 😢
avro-tools tojson <badly-named-file.ocf> happily reads the file (same goes for AWS - I think that's because they use Java)

There is a discussion about it here in the mailing list, and
furthermore Python seems to have chosen to allow for disabling this validation

Because of that last note, I think we should consider adding this optional functionality in this library too. What do you think? I can do a PR if you're on board.
