Description

## Summary

Cannot modify Trademark or File Description assembly attributes in SDK projects in project properties UI

In SDK style projects, while nearly all properties are modifiable via the new project properties UI, Trademark cannot be modified at the moment. You can still set the AssemblyTrademark value via [assembly:] in a cs file, but it is less convenient and is the only property that requires this now from the Assembly Information UI.

Detailed explaination of the behavior can be found [here ](https://gist.github.com/timheuer/ac80984d0792e887a3726523ad803965)

## User Impact
User would be able to modify trademark and file description via new property pages experience without manual workarounds. This would cut the need to edit the assemblyinfo.cs file in addition to the modify properties page (for other values).
