Content browser now hidden by default, opening tip is displayed showing you how to access it from the drawer. It can be permanently docked into the layout from there. Opening tip is never shown again
Placement browser is now closed by default
A UE4 classic layout has been added for those who want the placement browser and content browser docked by default

CL# 15481362 changed the behavior of ObjectsUseNameArea so that the object name was visible, and upon auditing the current use of ObjectsUseNameArea it was found that all but a few cases likely intended to use HideNameArea instead.
Breaking: This change also renames FDetailsViewArgs::bShowActorLabel to FDetailsViewArgs::bShowObjectLabel to reflect what it actually does.

Adds support for selection, gizmo manipulation, property editing, duplication, deletion, and undo/redo for Static Mesh instances within the main Level Editor, without having to enter an alternative editing mode.
Note: This is currently disabled via UE_ENABLE_SMINSTANCE_ELEMENTS

This avoids the calculation being made repeatedly when nothing has changed (eg, it used to be cached 3-4 times during a selection change event), as well as not needing to calculate it each frame (eg, for the gizmo visibility, or during a drag operation)

* Preview actor to visualize placement.
* Ctrl + click to rotate to another item in the palette and regenerate rotation and scale.
* Configurable normal axis alignment.
Also fixed a crash on exiting the mode due to lingering mode toolkit references in the level editor.

Editor layout system: If there is a version bump in the layout system, it used to show a message dialog always. Behavior modified.
If the load request comes from the "Load" UI button, it keep displaying a message dialog to warn the user (and a UELOG(Warning)). If it's from the editor startup, it will only show the UE_LOG(Warning).
Also modified the default layout with the new version.

This lets UTypedElementSelectionSet (which has minimal dependencies) to be used by the Engine and InteractiveToolsFramework modules

That way, we can have the editors open at editor startup and avoid having to reopen them when needed.

SActorDetails now operates on a given UTypedElementSelectionSet (removing its dependence on the global selection), and also operates based on the list of selected top-level elements rather than the selected actors.
UTypedElementDetailsInterface provides the interface needed for an element to be used with the details panel, with ITypedElementDetailsObject being the underlying glue object.
The ITypedElementDetailsObject instance will exist as long as the details panel is using it, so gives a lifetime to potentially synthesized UObject instances that are created purely for editing (eg, on instances).
This change removes almost all direct use of UpdateFloatingPropertyWindowsFromActorList, with only a single use-case in the reference viewer remaining.
Most code was already using UpdateFloatingPropertyWindows anyway, which now emits an extra OnElementSelectionChanged event in addition to its previous OnActorSelectionChanged event.
UpdateFloatingPropertyWindowsFromActorList now only emits an OnOverridePropertyEditorSelection event and no longer emits an OnActorSelectionChanged event.
SActorDetails is updated from both OnElementSelectionChanged and OnOverridePropertyEditorSelection, with the OnActorSelectionChanged event remaining for backwards compatability with existing code.
