Report a distribution channel's discriminator

Expose the class-name discriminator used by channel options.

Field	Value
Operation ID	OP-009
Trigger	A caller or serializer reads DistributionMethodType from a distribution-channel object.
Inputs	Concrete channel type parameter T.
Outputs	Channel discriminator string.
Primary components	DistributionMethod<T>.DistributionMethodType
Entry point	Business\SAIF.Business.Policy.Audit.ApiCalls\DistributionMethod.cs

Steps

1. Return typeof(T).Name from DistributionMethodType so the active channel advertises its own class name as the discriminator (BR-AAC-022).
