Naming convention of hostnames and azure VM objects

[fberson]

The naming os computer hostnames and azure VM names is not very consistent and does not allow customers to add a custom prefix. I would like to suggest introduce 3 new variables to be able to provide the prefix for each of the three roles, as an example for RD Gateway:

       "gatewayHostNamePrefix": {
         "type": "string",
          "defaultValue": "RDGW-",
          "metadata": {
          "description": "Hostname prefix for RD Gateway Servers"
         }

Use those to construct the computername like below

       "osProfile": {
  "computerName": "[concat(parameters(' gatewayHostNamePrefix'),'0', copyindex(1))]",

And use the same convention for the VM names in Azure as well to make things consistent

"type": "Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines",
"name": "[concat(parameters(gatewayHostNamePrefix'),'0', copyindex(1))]",
