Proposal to rename sample projects for better clarity

[lbussell]

I was looking at the dotnet/aspire-samples repo and I liked how those samples are named - they make it very obvious what you're getting. They also follow standard .NET naming conventions (PascalCase for project names). Example:

samples/AspireWithNode
samples/AspireWithPython
samples/ClientAppsIntegration
samples/ContainerBuild
...

I think our samples could be named more clearly. I propose the following:

Previous name	New name
aspnetapp	AspNetCoreRazorApp
releasesapi	AspNetCoreNativeAOT
dotnetapp	ConsoleApp
globalapp	ConsoleAppWithGlobalization
releasesapp	ConsoleAppSelfContained

The aspnetapp and dotnetapp image tags don't necessarily have to change.

I don't have a strong PoV. The only issue is that this is a breaking change. It would be useful to determine who often the existing links show up in GitHub and other places. if there are a bunch of hits, then it is a question of how much this rename delivers.
