 Add `(required)` to the `Name` label of:
 Add New > Profile Fields
 Add New > Profile Field Group

 While we have great error messages in case users forget to add the names
 of the field of field group, let's ensure that new users know that they
 are required to fill up those fields to prevent any error in the first
 place.

 The alternatives of adding attributes for the input fields like `aria-
 required="true"` and `required` (for HTML5-ready documents) instead only
 benefit screen reader users. Adding the `(required)` text in the label
 would benefit everyone.
