WookieMonkeys 1b6f68bb59 stream: Add entropy to deactivated streams.
Adding an additional `!` to the stream name each time a stream is
deactivated, to a maximum of 21 times, effectively limits number of
times a stream with a given name can be deactivated.  This is unlikely
to come up in common usage, but may be confusing when testing.

Change what we prepend to deactivated stream names to something with
more entropy than just `!`, by instead prepending a substring of hash
of the stream's ID.  `!`s.  Using 128 bits of the hash means that it
will require more than 10^18th renames to have a 1% chance of collision.

Because too-long stream names are also truncated at 60 characters,
having this entropy in the beginning of the name also helps address
potential issues from stream names that differed only in, e.g. the
60th character.

Fixes #17016.
