Add --title to Squirrel.exe pack?

See original GitHub issue

The entry in Programs and Features is determined by the --packName parameter to Squirrel.exe pack ...

According to the Squirrel naming conventions, that entry is set by the title property on the NuGet package metadata. Could we get a --title option added to pack to set this value when we are skipping the NuGet packaging? That way we could have spaces and dots in the Programs and Features entry.

689b7ec778326cad5831eeb03ea441480ab99b29 I have fixed several issues related to using dots and dashes in package id’s, My-Package3.Cool is a perfectly valid ID and is working fine now.

995dd6379a9a450948548285707567de7ace58e0 I have also deprecated --packName and replaced it with a separate id (required) and title (optional) parameter. --packName will continue to work the same way it used to, but it will not be listed in the -h output, and may be removed in a future version.

This will be in the next pre-release.
