A "property name" is the name of the just the property without regard to the group that it's in. A "group name" is the name of the group. And a "property ID" is the full unique name of a property in the form "groupName.propertyName". This is important preparation for upcoming changes where property sets can contain other property sets, and property IDs can be arbitrarily long like "layer1.baseColor.factor" for example.
The naming changes include variables, some code comments, and the .materialtype file format. I was able to make these changes in a backward compatible way so a property or group "id" field has been replaced with a "name" field, but "id" is still supported for compatibility. StandardPBR, EnhancedPBR, StandardMultilayerPBR, and Skin have all been updated. Note that MinimalPBR has not been updated, proving that backward compatibility works. (We can update this one too at some point though).
Testing:
Opened up materials in the material editor.
Ran AtomSampleViewer in dx12 and vulkan with no new failures.

Added proper descriptions for the material type and parent material placeholder properties
