[ZEPPELIN-5066] Notebook creation fails in Zeppelin 0.9 with namespace collision with other users

Description

For non-public notebooks, say UserA creates a notebook e.g. "Untitled Note 1".  Then UserB tries to create a notebook.  The default prompts for "Untitled Note 1".  However, clicking enter results in the message: "Failed to create note.
IOException: Note '/Untitled Note 1' existed". 

 

What I would expect ideally is that each user gets their own notebook namespace.  Otherwise, even when not using the defaults when notebooks are not public, a user has to guess a name that they can't validate until creation fails.

 

At the very least the error message should be better and the default name should e.g. contain something in reference to the user name (e.g. "Jeff Untitled Note 1")
