Change 3209340 on 2016/11/23 by Ben.Marsh
Convert UE4 codebase to an "include what you use" model - where every header just includes the dependencies it needs, rather than every source file including large monolithic headers like Engine.h and UnrealEd.h.
Measured full rebuild times around 2x faster using XGE on Windows, and improvements of 25% or more for incremental builds and full rebuilds on most other platforms.
* Every header now includes everything it needs to compile.
* There's a CoreMinimal.h header that gets you a set of ubiquitous types from Core (eg. FString, FName, TArray, FVector, etc...). Most headers now include this first.
* There's a CoreTypes.h header that sets up primitive UE4 types and build macros (int32, PLATFORM_WIN64, etc...). All headers in Core include this first, as does CoreMinimal.h.
* Every .cpp file includes its matching .h file first.
* This helps validate that each header is including everything it needs to compile.
* No engine code includes a monolithic header such as Engine.h or UnrealEd.h any more.
* You will get a warning if you try to include one of these from the engine. They still exist for compatibility with game projects and do not produce warnings when included there.
* There have only been minor changes to our internal games down to accommodate these changes. The intent is for this to be as seamless as possible.
* No engine code explicitly includes a precompiled header any more.
* We still use PCHs, but they're force-included on the compiler command line by UnrealBuildTool instead. This lets us tune what they contain without breaking any existing include dependencies.
* PCHs are generated by a tool to get a statistical amount of coverage for the source files using it, and I've seeded the new shared PCHs to contain any header included by > 15% of source files.
Tool used to generate this transform is at Engine\Source\Programs\IncludeTool.

Settings specific to Anim, Blueprint and Material Editor should probably be broken out into their own settings classes in the respective modules at some point. It feels a little strange that the GraphEditor needs to be aware of specific pin and node title types. At this time I did not want to refactor the existing graph editors though, and since many of the properties are currently being shared, pulling these settings out of UEditorUserSettings is at least a good first step. In the future I would like to see settings sections for specific graph based editors instead of having a generic 'Graph Editor' section that is shared by some or all editors.
I exposed various color settings in the UI as many users seem to be quite excited about customizing their Editor. If you think that some settings should be added or removed, please feel free to make any desired changes or let me know. Thanks!

#add Added UEdGraphNode::GetNodeNativeTitle to return a native title for a node.
#add Added UEdGraphNode::GetNodeSearchTitle to return the native and localized title for a node, together, for searching.
#add Can hold "alt" over a node (in the graph panel, or the palette) to see the native name of the node.
#ttp 331252 - Blueprints: Editor: L10N: Blueprints need to consistently show localized node names and when searching need to search both the localized name and the native name
