Auto-generate unique output_name for component() gn targets.
component() target generates shared libraries if
is_component_build=true, which creates .dll/.so files right in the
out/Default directory. This require component() user to come up with a
unique output_name to not clash with already existing libraries, but in
many cases the conflict may not exist and a user doesn't set the unique
output_name. This creates libraries with very generic names such as
"events.dll", "host.dll", "public.dll".
This CL forces gn to generate unique output_name using the target path
and name when output_name is not set explicitly.
Examples of automatic conversions:
events.dll -> ui_events.dll
host.dll -> components_viz_host.dll
public.dll -> components_download_public_common_public.dll
The CL ensures that targets like //base:base or //v8:v8 will have the
same name as before ("base.dll" and "v8.dll" respectively).
