Replace all non-alphanumerics in active help env var program prefix (#1940)

* Replace all non-alphanumerics in active help env var program prefix

There are other characters besides the dash that are fine in program
names, but are problematic in environment variable names. These include
(but are not limited to) period, space, and non-ASCII letters.

* Another change in docs to mention non-ASCII-alphanumeric instead of just dash

Debugging your Active Help code is done in the same way as debugging your dynamic completion code, which is with Cobra's hidden `__complete` command. Please refer to [debugging shell completion](shell_completions.md#debugging) for details.
When debugging with the `__complete` command, if you want to specify different Active Help configurations, you should use the active help environment variable. That variable is named `<PROGRAM>_ACTIVE_HELP` where any `-` is replaced by an `_`. For example, we can test deactivating some Active Help as shown below:
