Enable UPS by default for all non-dedicated server targets for all projects.
When staging, remove the requirement to specify the -iostore command line argument by reading the value "bUseIoStore" from the platform game ini section "/Script/UnrealEd.ProjectPackagingSettings".
The command line arguments (-iostore and -skipiostore) can still be used to override the ini file setting.

Improved behavior of PIE automation to deal with extremly long hitches and better represet the time a user is going to wait before the editor is usable.
Improved usability of BenchmarkBuild script
Changes
+ Added new automation command for waiting until average fps reaches a specified value. Using this with a conservative value is a better way of checking for interactivity than looping at shader compiles etc.
+ When Errors are added to a test as a result of logging, this itself is now logged as an error. This makes it clearer why a test may have failed despite its own checks having passed.
+ BenchmarkBuild can now just specify empty arguments for PIE/Cook tests (e.g. -PIE1_Args="") to allow comparisons between default/other.
+ Project.Maps.PIE can now take a "-maps" argument on the command line for the list of maps to test
+ Turned on AutomationController.SuppresLogErrors for Frosty to prevent errors causing errors to fail
+ Cleaned up naming for mulltiple-variations of PIE/Cook tests in BenchmarkBuild. Now use -PIE1Args, -PIE2Args etc
Fixes -
* Fixed issue in AutomationControllerManager where extreme hitching resulted in an editor test timing out due to outstanding pings being given a "TimeSince" that would exceed a timeout
* Fixed issue where bTreatLogErrorsAsTestErrors was (strangely) causing the editor to exit with a zero-error code when tests failed.
* Made FWaitForShadersToFinishCompiling automation task non-blocking to prevent timeouts. (It also checks texture compilation as the blocking version used to)
* Fixed BenchmarkBuild using the old System.Maps.PIE test that isn't enabled by default in projects
* Removed flush of shaders/textures in Project.Maps.PIE since this doesn't represent when the level is playable. Measuring this will be added as a separate test.
* Fixed issue where a user specifying a map with an extension would cause Project.Maps.PIE not to recognize the level had loaded

This resolves a issue with PCBs were pdbcopy failed to run because it does not support portable pdbs.

Some behavior changes:
Output paths - Both tools are now output to a subdirectory of Binaries/Dotnet, I believe most hardcoded paths have been fixed up but there may be tools that will fail because of this.
UAT Plugin Building - As .NET Core does not support AppDomain unloading, how we build the plugins has changed quite a bit, these are now built before UAT is started rather then by UAT itself. If you just start UAT via RunUAT.bat/sh this should just continue to work.

Also cleaned up some output assemblies, preventing all transative references from being outputed (as we assume they build directly to the output directory instead). Unfortunatley the UBT references still cause tranastive dependencies to be copied as this is also a executable that needs to work outside of UAT as well, we should eventually move all UBT referenced code into BuildUtilities.

Also reduces footprint on disk and speedsup builds slightly.
Also took a pass over all projects to fixup their output paths as there were some inconsitencies from my port to netcore.
Lastly I disabled the resource folders for everything but english to reduce some of the noise in the output folder, this just impacts which languages you get code analysis.
