Database name hyphens

Steps to reproduce:
1. Navigate upto the 'Connect to database' page.
2. Input invalid 'Database name'. (e.g. my_wiki#)
3. Click on the 'Continue' button.
4. Click on the 'help' field hint for the 'Database name'.
5. Compare the warning message and the help field hint.

Note : Same behavior for 'Database table prefix'.  (refer the screenshots)

Actual results:
Warning message - Invalid database name "my_wiki#". Use only ASCII letters (a-z, A-Z), numbers (0-9), underscores (_) and hyphens (-). 

Help field hint - Choose a name that identifies your wiki. It should not contain spaces or hyphens. ......

Note : Currently system accepts database names with hyphens.

Expected results:
Either one of the message should be changed.

Database prefix hyphens
Comment 2 Chad H. 2011-01-12 08:58:49 UTC 
DB name *can* have hyphens (see r79767 / bug 25969). Fixed message in r80081 to reflect this.
Comment 3 Nadeesha 2011-01-13 04:16:53 UTC 
Retest passed for the 'Database name' field.
Retest failed for the 'Database table prefix' field.
Comment 4 Chad H. 2011-01-13 22:48:26 UTC 
Fixed it for prefixes in r80202.
