Description

Each analyzer component factory now has an explicitly documented "NAME" static field (LUCENE-8778) to promote the proper use of (symbolic) SPI names.
It would be better to get rid of all concrete factory class names from the Analysis tab UI, but instead show SPI names.

From implementation perspective, reflection tricks are needed to obtain the NAME field value without knowing the concrete classes (frameworks like Luke Analysis tab often don't know them). APIs to obtain the SPI name from a factory object might be needed for convenience and unified access to the names.
