Summary: Pyro should define Patch/@ClientPatchId

Initial Comment:
The AllowRemoval property that WiX defines in the secondary transform uses the 
patch code in a form (no curly braces or dashes, and prepended with an 
underscore for a valid Identity column type value) but this forces the patch 
author to know the patch codes up front before building the product. In turn, 
this has a dependency on using a seed that will be unique to each permutation 
of the patch if a single patch authoring doc were used for different builds 
(like for different processor architectures of products). This is very 
complicated.

Instead, it would be easier to define an attribute on Patch named ClientPatchId 
that will be used instead of the mangled patch code in 
Patch.BuildPairedTransform. Ideally, this is just something like a KB# which is 
known up front and doesn't have to be unique for each product (since it will be 
in a transform that is unique to a product - by default for transform 
validation flags - anyway).
