Rename "name" to "plugin_id" and "prettyName" to "name" #53

Description

@fdrozdowski

Currently plugin authors need to specify a "name". This is used to uniquely identify a plugin. If they want a display name separate from "name" they can define "prettyName".

Since "name" is really an id, it might make more sense to make this an ID and encourage plugin authors to use something truly unique (or have it generated by dvp).

It's seems pretty likely that two plugin authors could create two plugins both of the name "mongo" for example. Those plugins would not be able to be uploaded to the same engine (or more we would try to treat it as an upgrade).

We have no way for "name" to change so a customer would be out of luck if they wanted to use both on the same engine.
