Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
Ids of solutions in the katas contain effectively duplicate information, and I tend to forget to update ids when copy-pasting exercises from existing ones to use as a starting point, so have to go back and update when build fails.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
The id of a solution can be deduced as `_`. We have two scenarios:
1. File is just `Solution.qs` (tasks with one solution) - can use file name as is, converted to lowercase
```
@[solution]({
"id": "solving_sat__sat_formula_solution",
"codePath": "./Solution.qs"
})
```
2. File name is SolutionA/SolutionB - can either modify the id pattern to make it end with `_solutiona` (filename converted to lowercase) or separate "solution" from the suffix it uses for uniqueness with an underscore.
```
@[solution]({
"id": "preparing_states__two_bitstrings_solution_a",
"codePath": "./SolutionA.qs"
})
```
With this change, `@[solution]` macro won't need "id" field any longer.
