Fix bug #16216 with 'name' Unicode property of control characters.

 admin/unidata/unidata-gen.el (unidata-split-name): Don't give any NAME
 to <control> characters: the Unicode Standard says they have no
 name.

 doc/lispref/nonascii.texi (Character Properties): NAME or OLD-NAME
 properties can be nil (there's no empty string).
