Pull request overview

This PR implements the repo-wide shift from mixed Schema:Class / Schema.Class handling to dot-only class names by adopting EC.FullClassNameDotNotation across APIs and internals, reducing the need for repeated normalizeFullClassName calls and making string formatting expectations type-safe.

Changes:

• Updated shared, hierarchies, and content types/APIs to use EC.FullClassNameDotNotation where dot-only is now required.
• Updated ECSQL snippet generation and query readers to emit/consume dot-notation class names directly.
• Updated unit/integration/performance tests and utilities to align with dot-only class-name inputs/outputs.
