Use underscore instead of dashes in .prm files #3255

I find it visually unpleasing and difficult to remember that our .prm files (cookbooks, benchmarks) have a random mix of _ and - in their names: shell_simple_2d.prm vs gplates-2d.prm latent-heat.prm platelike-boundary.prm continental_extension.prm etc..

We should use underscores everywhere instead.

I do not feel strongly about renaming vs. keeping them. Being consistent is nice. You will have to change some .prm files in the tests that include benchmark or cookbook files. Also remember to check the manual for references to .prm files.
