1.2.0

Added a new Custom Header system, which can be used to override the default name, suffix and/or tooltip for all components of a particular type in the Inspector. Unlike when using OnValidate to call Component.SetName, CustomHeaders work without needing to serialize anything onto the disk. They also make it easier to keep your runtime and editor-only code separate. They can also easily target components whose source code you can't or don't want to modify.
Added custom headers for the following built-in Unity components: Light, Renderer and SpriteRenderer. These can be installed using the package found at 'Add-Ons/UnityEngine.unitypackage'.
Added some custom headers for the following uGUI components: Button, Image, Toggle, TextMeshProDropdown, TextMeshProText. These can be installed using the package found at 'Add-Ons/uGUI.unitypackage'.
Improved prefab asset handling. The system is now better at detecting edge-case situations where a component in a prefab asset can not be renamed, and will log warning messages with clear messages about how the situation can be resolved.

Improved handling of prefab renaming in more complicated situations, such as when the same component is remamed both in a prefab asset as well as in an instance of that prefab asset.
