Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Ollama is setting rules to standardize the model name created by Modelfile. Eg: non-english characters or uppercase characters (uppercase appears to be a bug, which has been fixed in pre-release v0.1.37) are no longer allowed. This is good for Ollama as a backend service, but may impact user experience. As Open-WebUI can now only list the Ollama "technical" model name for users to select

Describe the solution you'd like
When creating Modelfiles via the UI, enable admin to utilize the 'Name' instead of the 'Model Tag Name' for display in the UI
