Django should warn (or throw an error) when creating a new app called 'app'.

Description

I created an app called 'app' in my project using the management command 'startapp'.
I think this should throw an error or warn the user, as it brings some implications:

For example, the AppConfig of the app called 'app' is called AppConfig by default.
This breaks the AppConfig, as it can't be called that.
(I noticed this when debugging why my signals didn't work)

I would be willing to work on this.

Summary: Django should warn (or throw an error) when creating a new app called 'app' → Django should warn (or throw an error) when creating a new app called 'app'.
UI/UX: unset
Version: 3.0 → master

App called app works perfectly fine for me (also with signals). class AppConfig(AppConfig) will locally redefine imported django.apps.AppConfig, so it works properly.
