juju refresh to locally built charm does not work due to charm names being different

[sudeephb]

Currently this charm's only revision is under the name "bootstack-charmers-storage-connector" in charmhub. However, metadata.yaml reports the name "storage-connector" therefore juju is refusing to perform the upgrade operation since it thinks they are different charms.

$ juju refresh storage-connector --path=./storage-connector.charm
ERROR cannot refresh "bootstack-charmers-storage-connector" to "storage-connector"

On top of this when the name is changed in metadata.yaml, LXD build container fails with a message about the container name being too long.

...
Failed to launch instance 'charmcraft-bootstack-charmers-storage-connector-1045805-0-0-amd64'.

Probably a name change in charmhub for this charm is a good idea.
