[IAEP] Remove the naming alert in 0.86

[Sean DALY]

The popup could work if it was accompanied by a suggestion like "write
in what you were doing to help you find this again easily."

Learners (or teachers) encountering difficulty locating Journal
entries will I think find motivation to write in metadata.

Ideally, the popup could be set in the control panel for 1) when
opening an Activity, 2) when closing an Activity, 3) Don't show at
all.
