- Enabled for Xcode, added support but left disabled for VisualStudio
- For Games and Samples with multiple projects, a solution folder now contains them

- Creates the UnrealArchitectures class, which wraps a list of UnrealArch objects
- UnrealArch is a single architecture, expandable enum-like struct
- There is no more concept of "no/default architecture", there is always a valid active architecture when building
- Most uses of "string Architecture" are replaced with one of the two above, depending if multiple architectures are supported or not
- UnrealArch has some platform-extensions for platform-specific naming (like Linux adds in LinuxName that turns, for instance, Arm64 -> aarch64-unknown-linux-gnueabi, which is used in folder names, etc)
- UnrealArch has bIsX64 which can be used determine intel instruction set (as opposed to arm)
- TargetRules class has an "Architecture" accessor that will return a single architecture if the active architectures is a single architecture, or throw an exception if multiple. This is useful in a majority of the cases where a paltform can only have a single architecture active in TargetRules (microsoft platforms, for instance, will create separate targets when compiling multiple architectures at once)
- Added UnrealArchitectureConfig class, which contains all the architecture information for a platform (what architectures are supported, what ones are currently active for given project, etc)

Technically, it did work on the affected platforms, because we could modify a .cpp file and deploy this change, but UBT ran a full build script including compilation, linking and symbol generation, which is unnecessary because only compilation is needed. Thus, it increased the update time from 1-10 sec to 60 seconds (the time is dominated by the link time).
Fixed by adding a special Target to our projects that runs only compilation steps.

#rn fix Sony Live code edit (edit and continue) no longer triggers linking when applying code changes. This way iteration time is significantly reduced.

This is required to update the default visual studio version, however that change is currently on hold due to a compiler issue
