Summary: Allow Merge modules properties without MSM Guid

Initial Comment:
Using version 3.0.1814.0:

If I define a merge module in a .wxs file, the 
resulting .msm will make all property names include 
the merge module extension.

Normally this is what most users want, however there 
are cases where a merge module defines a command line 
driven component where this is not wanted.

For example, I could have a component condition based 
on INSTALLTHISFILE being set.  The end user could use 
a command line such as:
setup.exe INSTALLTHISFILE

Using current Wix tools, the component condition 
always gets the merge module GUID assigned, so the end 
user would have to type this:
setup.exe 
INSTALLTHISFILE.8CFBE8E1_3EE8_4FF3_83D0_7049FFF15A6D


The feature request is to have an optional tag that 
won't append the guid to the property name.  Same 
option should go for entries in the Property table.
