Summary0002399: Automatically generate meaningful names for new nodes
Description

Currently when creating an output node the node name is too generic, such as "Output Volume_1", so the user has to often rename the node to something meaningful.

For CLI modules we could generate meaningful names by combining the name of the input data and the operation that has been applied,
e.g.,
Input volume name: MRI-needle1
Operation: bias correction
Generated output volume name: MRI-needle1-bias-corrected

The automatic naming pattern could be very easily defined in the CLI definition XML file by the "reference" (already exists) and "defaultNames" attributes:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<executable>
<title>N4ITK MRI Bias correction</title>

@Jim: Could you have a look at there before the end of the week. The idea would be to cut the 4.3.1 on Monday next week (Sept 23). Thanks
