Description

--name works inconsistently across the different publish providers - on Cloud Run you should use --service instead for example. Need to review it across all of them and either remove it or clarify what it does.

Research direction

Review the datasette publish command across all publish providers, starting with how --name and the Cloud Run --service option are handled. Done means the option's behavior is consistent and clearly defined across providers, or it is removed where it does not apply.
