The Web Project Conversion Wizard is updated to handle newly discovered conversion issues.

 * The ability to access protected, autogenerated control variables is added.
 * The ability to update converted assembly references when the Web project is built is added.
 * The renaming of the .aspx files and the .ascx files to lowercase letters is fixed.
 * The logic that is used to detect and not convert previously converted files is improved.
 * The ConversionReport.txt file is renamed the ConversionReport.webinfo file.
 * More detail is added to the messages for file parsing errors.
 * The conversion of user controls that use base classes is improved.
