Task description

Split from PR #1074. There have been a few cases we've fixed where the code has been getting the name of a type as a string by using the pattern typeof(SomeType).Name, when code analysis warnings show that we should be using nameof(SomeType) instead. This potentially has a small performance benefit if the compiler/PGO is not already smart enough to recognize this pattern, but at the least it will simplify the code and reduce some analysis warnings.

Using a Regex search might be helpful. I found several hits using this pattern: typeof\([^\)]*\)\.Name. There may be other, similar variations of this pattern, though.
