Further to #74 this PR allows sub- and ses- labels to be alphanumeric, removing the requirement for these to be numeric only. It is still recommended that labels are (optionally zero-padded) integers increasing as each new subject / session is added, but this is no longer a fixed requirement.

thanks @glopesdev for the suggestion! It is nice to allow this level of flexibility if required.

This PR is a change to the spec so does not require tests nor further documentation. It will need to be handled on the datashuttle side and would make sense to merge this and a datashuttle PR that handles it at the same tiem.

This is done on the NeuroBlueprint side, it can be merged and a new release in conjunction with datashuttle once this is merged.
