Here we formalize the concept of a Property Set, which replaces property "groups", containing the group name and description, properties, and functors all in one place.
The Property Set structure will allow arbitrarily deep nesting, whereas before you only had one level of grouping. This nesting is not fully supported yet throughout the system, particularly in the Material Editor. It was easier to go ahead and put in some of the nesting mechanims, parituclar in the implementation of MaterialTypeSourceData.
This change is backward compatible, which is proved with unit tests, and by the fact that only MinimalPBR.materialtype has been updated to the new format. StandardPBR, EnhancedPBR, and others are still using the old format. (In a subsequent commit I'll update these as well, to prove that the new format works correctly).
Other changes and improvements...
- A new constructor for MaterialPropertyId
- Improved API for MaterialTypeSourceData that hides a good deal more of it's data as private, with clear and convenient APIs. Especially AddProperty, AddPropertySet, FindProperty, FindPropertySet, EnumerateProperties, EnumeratePropertySets.
- Added lots of new unit tests
- Updated MinimalPBR.materialtype to the new format.
Testing:
- Updated unit tests.
- Reprocessed Atom material assets.
- Ran AtomSampleViewer material screenshot test.
- Opened, edited, saved material in the Material Editor.
- Opened a level, edited material property overrides, saved and reloaded.

Here the class has been generalized for a list of group names and a final property name, rather than assuming a single group containing the property. This included removing the unused GetPropertyName and GetGroupName functions. All that's really need from this class is conversion to a full property ID string.
Testing:
New unit test.
Reprocessed all core material types and StandardPBR test materials used in Atom Sample Viewer's material screenshot test.
Atom Sample Viewer material screenshot test script.
