UnrealBuild -> Unreal for EngineDirectory, RootDirectory, IsEngineInstalled, UnrealBuildToolPath
Remove CommandUtils EngineDirectory, RootDirectory, IsEngineInstalled - use equvalents from UnrealBuildBase.Unreal

RootDirectory, EngineDirectory, UnrealBuildToolPath are now found in BuildUtilities' UnrealBuild namesapce.
The way these are computed has changed. Previously, it was assumed that the application is UnrealBuildTool, and paths were constructed relative to that assembly.
Now, the assumption is that the process is located under a "Engine/Build/DotNET" sub-path and paths are constructed relative to that.

Some behavior changes:
Output paths - Both tools are now output to a subdirectory of Binaries/Dotnet, I believe most hardcoded paths have been fixed up but there may be tools that will fail because of this.
UAT Plugin Building - As .NET Core does not support AppDomain unloading, how we build the plugins has changed quite a bit, these are now built before UAT is started rather then by UAT itself. If you just start UAT via RunUAT.bat/sh this should just continue to work.

* Added support for more complex Msbuild conditions (using static property methods) as we use this to do per platform checks in the csprojs.
* Tweaks to the parsing of csprojs as expecations are different for netcore (mostly for how configurations are defined)
* Lastly if -dotnetcore flag is present when generating projects, use the netcore project files instead.

Visual Studio solution files and project files are now generated deterministically by UnrealBuildTool to reduce solution and project reloads.
Three sources of non-determinism are addressed by this change:
1. VisualStudioSolutionFolder now uses a deterministic guid based on its folder path in the solution. Note that this relies on MasterProjectFolder.AddSubFolder avoiding sibling folders with duplicate names.
2. The Visualizers folder now uses a hard-coded Guid.
3. RulesCompiler.FindAllRulesFiles now sorts cached paths.

Any build targets have a DefaultBuildSettings property. For engine targets, this defaults to BuildSettingsVersion.Latest. For project targets, this defaults to BuildSettingsVersion.Release_4_23. For new projects, this will default to the engine version they are created from.
If a target is not using the latest default build settings, they will receive a message describing the settings that have changed, like this:
[Upgrade]
[Upgrade] Using UE 4.23 compatible build settings. The latest version of UE4 sets the following values by default, which may require code changes:
[Upgrade] bLegacyPublicIncludePaths = false => Omits subfolders from public include paths to reduce compiler command line length.
[Upgrade] PCHUsage = PCHUsageMode.UseExplicitOrSharedPCHs => Set in build.cs files to enables IWYU-style PCH model. See https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Programming/BuildTools/UnrealBuildTool/IWYU/index.html.
[Upgrade] Suppress this message by setting 'DefaultBuildSettings = BuildSettingsVersion.Release_4_24;' in UnrealPak.Target.cs, and explicitly overriding desired settings.
[Upgrade]
Intent is to reduce friction for users initially upgrading to new engine versions, while notifying them of more optimal build settings being available, and letting them choose when (or if) to use them.
