UEB-261 - Ensure that compiling AutomationTool in VS will compile all other Automation Projects
* Just set AutomationTool as your startup project and pass the command to execute.
* VS will build the script modules at build time, instead of every time at runtime.
* To make this happen, "UBT.exe -ProjectFiles" now generates a companion AutomationTool.csproj.References that make AutomationTool depend on all Automation modules.
* AutomationTool.exe defaults to not building script modules at runtime. Pass -compile if you want to dynamically build them.
* Without the .references file, AutomationTool will only build itself and you will need to pass -compile.
* RunUAT.bat still works that same, defaulting to runtime compilation and supporting -nocompile flag. It then passes -compile (or nothing) to AutomationTool.
Other
* All Automation projects target .Net 4.5. Some already were and had hard dependencies on them (Rocket and SyncGithub -> Octokit). Now that AutomationTool directly depends on them, everything had to use .Net 4.5.
* Decoupled logic for -NoCompile and -NoCompileEditor. The flags are still confusing, but -NoCompile is no longer linked to -NoCompileEditor.
* Had to leave in stub support in UAT for -NoCompile else RunUAT.bat passes it along and UAT complains that it doesn't understand it.
* Added a CommandUtils.Run option to support run command, but still output the run duration.
* Reduced the verbosity when UAT.proj is run from dozens of lines per module to a single Module -> Output line. It was looking like there were problems, but it was just msbuild spew.

Not compatible with users who have no source, but may have visual studio installed.

- Rocket doesn't bundle Linux libs, making code-based projects (and projects with third-party plugins) fail during compilation.
- Updated messaging to reflect this.
- Also added a SDK check for Linux and a 'getting' started UDN page.
- Updated Linux README for 4.8.

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)

fix for generating Target.cs when -nocodeproject is provided (removed -nocodeproject as it is no longer needed due to other fixes)
default plugins no longer cause a target file to be generated

Some dialogs, e.g. from save menu actions, don't need the two options.
#jira UE-10400 - Clicking on Save All brings up same window as when closing the editor
