[Spacewalk-list] Update kickstart scripts via API

[Jon Miller]

Actually I sent my last email before completing my testing. Speaking of
being able to retrieve the script name, I didn't realize I wasn't
specifying a "script name" parameter for the kickstart.profile.addScript()
API call. My goal is to be able to manage a changing set of scripts outside
of the UI (hopefully avoid human error) and the side affect is now my
scripts are nameless. I suppose that would further encourage my goal of
keeping the scripts updated outside of the UI but I'd rather be able to
specify the script name.

...I'm half tempted to checkout the SW git repo and hack out a solution but
only half way. :-)
