End goal is outlined in
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MINIFICPP-359. getOrGenerateField is used
in this PR for name now, not just id: `std::string name =
getOrGenerateField(&connectionNode, "name");`
> Support anonymous connections in config.yml

> Priority: Minor

> Since connections are rarely, if ever, referenced by name or ID in a typical
> config.yml, allow for anonymous (no ID and no name) connections. MiNiFi will
> generate IDs for anonymous connections. This will make writing config.yml a
> little simpler.
