Angular incorrectly enforces the name attribute to create bindings on inputs

[esprehn]

The HTML spec says that name is not required so angular should not force people to use it.

Ex.
It's very common to use inputs to show copy/pasteable data. For instance
<textarea readonly>code snippet</textarea>
since select all with that field in focus will select all text.

Angular creates an ng-exception on the element because the name attribute is missing.

we should simply ignore input like elements which don't have name specified
