VisualDebugger bug when components are added on entity creation

[LinusVanElswijk]

If you add a component to an entity on an OnEntityCreated event,
line 34 of the PoolObserverInspector will throw an exception whenever you use the CreateEntity button of the visual debugger.

At the time this line of code is executed, the name of GameObject that is associated is not yet updated to contain the added component, causing a failure on
Object.FindObjectsOfType<EntityBehaviour>().Single(eb => eb.name == entity.ToString());.

The setup I use:

public class MySystem : IInitializeSystem {
  ...
  public void Initialize() {
    pool.OnEntityCreated += AddComponent;
  }

  //what I would like to do
  public void AddComponent(Pool pool, Entity entity) {
    entity.AddMyComponent(someValue);
  }

  //temporary fix: force the gameObject to update it's name
  public void AddComponent(Pool pool, Entity entity) {
#if (UNITY_EDITOR)  
    var entityBehaviour = GameObject.FindObjectsOfType<EntityBehaviour>()
     .Single(eb => eb.name == entity.ToString());
#endif
    entity.AddMyComponent(someValue);
#if (UNITY_EDITOR)
    entityBehaviour.gameObject.name = entity.ToString();
#endif
  }
  ...
}

A related issue: if you have multiple pools, then you can end up with multiple entities with the same name, which also causes an exception on the same line of code.
