- Changed plugin module descriptor internals to allow for an empty platform whitelist (which means no platforms are enabled), in the case of all platforms in the whitelist are not around
- Added some dummy DDPI.ini files for "fake platforms" to the Engine so that the above directory checks will not strip out the shared platform directories from projects

The Developer module type is currently generally used for this purpose, because it allows modules to load from an editor executable running with -game, but this is not the documented or intended behavior.

- Added support for compression plugins
- Removed the Custom compression concept, now using plugins properly
- Modified UnrealPak to use FNames, and allow for multiple compression methods (fallbacks on error or unavailability, etc)
- Added project settings for compression method selection for UnrealPak, and additional settings to be passed to UnrealPak (for instance, to control compression size/speed, etc)
- Deprecated a bunch of old function calls
- Improved pak file "old format" reading ability
- Brought over some changes from Fortnite for pak file encryption and memory savings
- Implemented a parallel compression pull request (#4129) to speed up pak file compression

* Runtime plugins are no longer loaded for every program (as was the case in 4.20)
* If a module is whitelisted for a specific program, it will be enabled regardless of whether the Type is "Program" or not.
* The bCanBeUsedWithUnrealHeaderTool flag in the plugin descriptor is now translated into support for the "UnrealHeaderTool" program on load.
* Restored support for the RuntimeAndProgram module type.
* Plugins are now enabled in UHT by passing the project on the command line, rather than passing explicit plugins to enable.
