Enhance STlist documentation and replace regex for sample name checks

[kweav]

Updated documentation for STlist function and improved sample name validation.

When working with the STlist function for reading in a list of dataframes, I hadn't noticed the requirement to have gene names in the first column for my RNA counts data. So my suggested change adds the note about that requirement from a previous part of the documentation (file paths) to the part of the documentation about lists of data frames.

Also, when providing data where I had formatted my sample IDs in way that matched the stated requirements, I was receiving an error code saying my data didn't follow the allowed pattern. However I was using Br####-DX which followed all of the stated requirements (not beginning with a number but rather a letter, and only having alphanumeric characters, spaces, dashes, or underscores). So I'm suggesting a different regex pattern and have simplified it to only conduct one test rather than two separate ones.

My suggested regex pattern looks for a letter at the beginning (denoted by the caret) and then alpha-numeric, space, dash, or underscore after throughout to the end of the string (denoted by the dollar sign)

I've tested the regex pattern change with several examples, and the test now works as expected. I have not tested if this change has any downstream implications for the spatialGE package.
