Pass SolutionFilterName as a property #6234

The change looks good. But as a best practice, any time there's a regression, we should add a unit test that definitively fails without the change. This just helps ensure it doesn't regress again. Obviously we have no unit test that covered this scenario, so I would add one now.

super-nit: Can the test solution file be simplified by removing x64 and/or Debug configurations, for example?

The email thread that started this had two project dependencies, does testing one project dependency cover the N project dependencies scenario?

Yes. I ran this test before and after the change, and it failed before and passed after.
What's important is that it has to build a metaproj.

Context
I had previously added SolutionFilterName as a property. I missed one place it needed to be added for it to be passed properly to BuildRequests. This manifested as build failures in unusual cases when the engine generated a metaproj, didn't save it to disk—only into a cache, then queried the cache to see whether a project had already been built with the same name/guid/global properties. Because the third changed, it failed to recognize it and failed the build.
Changes Made
Added the property in the one missing spot.
Testing
@jeffkl showed me it working on one repro on his computer. I intend to try it on another repro shortly.
