Key changes:
- Removed the use of cookedfiles.manifest
- Changed IoStore mode of UnrealPak to be capable of getting zenserver launch data from either a package store manifest (cbobject, metadata) OR a project store marker file (json)
- Ensured that the UAT and IoStore mode of UnrealPak can launch zenserver reliably by passing along the SponsorProcessId when launching zenserver
- Ensured that shader archives (and their accompanying json metadata files) can be read either as loose files on disk or directly from zenserver if it the data for them is internal to zenserver (ie: they have a valid chunk id)
Remaining work:
- Pak mode of UnrealPak must be able to launch zenserver and pull data from it.

Incremental step towards being able to stage to both a pak build as well as a nopak (streamng) build from a snapshot entirely stored in zenserver (no loose files on the filesystem except a ue.projectstore file).

Bugfix for incremental ZenStoreWriter: it was broadcasting iterativelyunmodified for every package whether it was modified or not.
MPCook Performance bugfix for GenerationHelper on cookdirector: it was initializing them (and loading the generator package) when it did not need to in response to discovery and savepackage messages from cookworkers.
Fix some coding standard issues.
Readability improvements for some save code that is about to be extended.

The code for parsing a view of the ZenPackageSummary has been extracted from AsyncLoading2.cpp into a private h/cpp and is possible to use from the header diffing code when printing out detailed diffs, but is not used yet.

Game client now accepts only -filehostip for connection to a CTOF server, -cookonthefly is no longer necessary and is ignored.
Game client will now receive ProjectName (ProjectId), Platform (OplogId), Zen server host name and port from COTF server if running with zenstore.
Fixed issues with generating the ProjectId from a path where drive letters where lower case.
