#ue4 - Optimize NaN and Infinite checks for FVector, FQuat, FRotator, FMatrix, FTransform. SIMD version VectorContainsNaNOrInfinite() also optimized on relevant platforms. Added startup tests for VectorContainsNaNOrInfinite().
- All our "ContainsNaN()" tests are in fact "IsNaN() || IsInfinite()", which is the same as "!IsFinite()", so exploited this to simplify the tests. Both NaN and +/-Inf are not finite (http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/numeric/math/isfinite). In the future we should rename ContainsNaN().
- Still need to audit some uses in shipping configs.

Redo of CL#2982707 2982716 2982723 2983780 2983864 from //Orion/Dev-General in preparation for continuing Analytics refactor in a Dev branch.
AnalyticsET support for arbitrary Json events.
* AnalyticsET supports a new API, RecordEventJson.
* API supports rvalue refs to avoid unnecessary copies of the attribute array.
#AUTOMERGE using branch Orion-Dev-General-To-UE4-Dev-Framework of change#2982707 by Wes.Hunt on 2016/05/18 17:22:20.
Remove Analytics code to divert legacy code to source data collector.
#AUTOMERGE using branch Orion-Dev-General-To-UE4-Dev-Framework of change#2982716 by Wes.Hunt on 2016/05/18 17:27:25.
Analytics no longer adds IsEditor attribute to all events. Wasn't actually used by anyone anymore.
#AUTOMERGE using branch Orion-Dev-General-To-UE4-Dev-Framework of change#2982723 by Wes.Hunt on 2016/05/18 17:29:40.
Modernize FAnalyticsEventAttribute usage.
Replaced FAnalyticsEventAttribute various ctors with a perfect forwarding one that can convert them to strings.
* The Name must be convertible to a string
* The value must be convertible to a string via an AnalyticsConversion::ToString() overload.
* Added/expanded the supported conversions to strings to analytics attribute values. See AnalyticsConversion.h which contains all the previously supported conversions and more.
Added MakeAnalyticsEventAttributeArray(), which uses variadic templates to create an array of event attributes inline, which can be passed to RecordEvent[Json] and efficiently taken ownership of:
RecordEvent("EventName", MakeAnalyticsEventAttributeArray(
"Attr1", false,
"Attr2", 42.0,
"Attr3", SomeMap,
"Attr4", SomeArray);
#AUTOMERGE using branch Orion-Dev-General-To-UE4-Dev-Framework of change#2983780 by Wes.Hunt on 2016/05/19 13:51:48.
Added missing assignment copy/move ops to FAnalyticsEventAttribute. Doh, should have looked at more usages of PLATFORM_COMPILER_HAS_DEFAULTED_FUNCTIONS...
#AUTOMERGE using branch Orion-Dev-General-To-UE4-Dev-Framework of change#2983864 by Wes.Hunt on 2016/05/19 14:17:05.

DF - Rename and refactor some morph target compute shader in prep for interop with skin cache
Change 2991167 on 2016/05/26 by Jon.Nabozny
Add `#include "DataTable.h"` to GameplayTagsManager.h. FGameplayTagTableRow is derived from FTableRowBase which isn't necessarily included. This issue is hidden in most cases as "Engine.h" includes "DataTable.h".
Change 2991183 on 2016/05/26 by Wes.Hunt
Disable general forwarding constructor for AnalyticsEventAttribute for non arithmetic types, so they are free to choose other overloads more appropriately.
Change 2991199 on 2016/05/26 by Wes.Hunt
Drastically reducing the headers dependencies on analytics headers. Analytics headers no longer appear in PCH files, and rarely if ever appear in a header file.
IAnalyticsProviderModule.h only touches 8 source files.
Analytics.h only touches 8 source files.
IAnalyticsProvider.h only touches 5 headers and 97 source files.
AnalyticsET.h only touches 12 source files.

Improves handling of a special case in EQS score normalization, where all items have the same score #UE4
We used to set the normalized score of 1 for all items, which was counter intuitive if all items have scored 0 in an unnormalized test. The improve handling detects that and assigns score of 0 in that case.

Change 2719147 on 2015/10/07 by Mark.Satterthwaite
Allow the shader cache to perform some precompilation synchronously on load before falling back to asynchronous compilation to balance load times against total time spent precompiling. Added a stat to the group that reports how long the precompile has been running until it completes so it is easier to track.

Merging CL #2729846: On OS X unconstrain windows from the dimension of the parent display when in Windowed mode - it is OK for them to be larger in this case. They do need to be repositioned if on the Primary display so that they don't creep under the menu bar and become unmovable/unclosable and Fullscreen windows still need to be constrained to a single display. We can now take screenshots of windows that are larger than the display & not get grey bars beyond the cutoff.

Emit a shader code cache for each platforms requested shader formats, this is separate to the targeted formats as not all can or need to be cached.
- The implementation extends the ShaderCache's hooks in FShaderResource's serialisation function to capture the required shaders.
- Each target platform has its own list of cached shader formats, analogous to the list of targeted RHIs. Presently only the Mac implements this.
- Code cached shaders are now compressed (for size) to reduce the overhead associated with keeping all the shader code around - this works esp. well for text-based formats like GLSL.

[CL 2612784 by Michael Noland in Main branch]
Newly installed versions of the engine will now attempt to copy the project-agnostic config settings from a previous engine installation. This happens by way of a versioned manifest that copies old versions when the manifest does not exist, or is a different version. This code path is benign for non-installed versions of the engine (or FPaths::ShouldSaveToUserDir() is false).
EditorGameAgnosticSettings and EditorUserSettings ini paths have been renamed to EditorSettings and EditorPerProjectUserSettings respectively to better convey their purpose. In general, most settings should be saved in EditorSettings (project-agnostic) so that they apply regardless of which project is open. We have some way to go migrating existing settings for this to be the case, however.
Some previously per-project configuration files are now project-agnostic (such as Editor.ini, EditorKeyBindings.ini, and EditorLayout.ini)
GEditor->Access...Settings and GEditor->Get...Settings have been removed in favor of direct access of the CDO through GetMutableDefault<> and GetDefault<> respectively. Global config ini filenames that are not set up are now neither loaded nor saved on build machines, to handle the problem of indeterminate state more generically.
This addresses UETOOL-270 (Most editor preferences should be project-agnostic)

Made the Project Browser window a bit higher so it's clear that there's description text below the template image.
#jira UE-9085 - new project browser window clipping
[CL 2511581 by Richard TalbotWatkin in Main branch]
- Linkers are no longer UObjects. Renamed ULinker, ULinkerLoad and ULinkerSave to FLinker, FLinkerLoad, FLinkerSave respectively
- Linkers are now associated with their UPackages
- Linker version is now stored in UPackages
- Async loading is now performed on a separate thread (if platform supports it and only in cooked builds), with the exception of PostLoad which is still done on the game thread
- Added UObject::IsPostLoadThreadSafe() function to determine if PostLoad is thread safe and can be executed on the async loading thread (defaults to false)
- UObject creation is now thread safe and can be performed on any thread
- Move many of the linker/UObject globals into FUObjectThreadContext (TLS)
- GetAsyncLoadPercentage() now takes PostLoad into account
- More async loading stats
- Added AtomicallySetFlags/ClearFlags to UObject
- Made FModuleManager thread safe.
- Added FGCScopeGuard as means of preventing GC from executing from non-game thread
- It's possible to disable async loading thread through ini settings.
- Cancelling async loading will now also trigger GC
- Implemented a basic version of async streaming priorities.

Stopped the "Compiling C++ Code" message in the editor MainFrame always having a cancel button
FModuleCompilerStartedEvent now passes a bool to say whether the hot-reload/compile operation is being run async, or whether it's blocking. We now only show the cancel button for async compiles, as the UI is otherwise blocked waiting for the compile to finish.
Added a bWaitForCompletion input parameter to DoHotReloadFromEditor. This mirrors the RebindPackages API that DoHotReloadFromEditor internally calls, and prevents UPackFactory needing to perform a manual tick.

UETOOL-213 - Minimize Slate FString -> FText conversion (remove SLATE_TEXT_ATTRIBUTE)
This fixes any editor/engine specific code that was passing text to Slate as FString rather than FText.
[CL 2399803 by Jamie Dale in Main branch]
* Moved Slate.h into SlateBasics.h and began shifting less commonly used headers into SlateExtras.h.
* Slate.h now simply includes SlateBasics.h and SlateExtras.h.
* Slate.h includes a deprecated warning now to indicate that SlateBasics.h + specific includes should be used instead.
* Moved dozens of inlined functions using Slate widgets into .cpp files to avoid header dependencies.
* All code samples now include SlateBasics.h and SlateExtras.h so future shifts will not break most those projects, but not trigger the deprecation warning of including Slate.h.
