Includes following engine changes:
Getting display metrics only once at construct time when using SSafeZone. GetDisplayMetrics is expensive in Windows so it is impractical to call it every frame.
- Some AI API improvements, mostly switchig pointer function parameters to references.
- minor refactor of UCrowdFollowingComponent's queryinf functions:
- IsCrowd*Enabled functions refactored to IsCrowd*Active
- implemented IsCrowd*Enabled that return acrual values of relevant properties
- Added a function to CrowdManager to query for location of agents neighbouring given agent
Added support for PS4 touchpad-based cursor
You can now choose to skip synchronously scanning for asset data in object libraries and just use the data that is currently in the asset registry. The data will be refereshed automatically later once the global scan completes. The only applies to non-commandlet editor instances.
Crash fixes for trying to access NULL Metal surfaces on IOS
Slate: Cleaned up some atlas code related to padding and corrected some comments

FScopedSlowTask has been refactored to better allow for nesting of slow operations. This allows us to cascade nested scopes and provide accurate feedback on slow tasks. FScopedSlowTasks now work together when nested inside sub functions. Break up long functions that contain calls to multiple nested FScopedSlowTasks with FScopedSlowTask::EnterProgressFrame().
Example Usage:
void DoSlowWork()
{
FScopedSlowTask Progress(2.f, LOCTEXT("DoingSlowWork", "Doing Slow Work..."));
// Optionally make this show a dialog if not already shown
Progress.MakeDialog();
// Indicate that we are entering a frame representing 1 unit of work
Progress.EnterProgressFrame(1.f);
// DoFirstThing() can follow a similar pattern of creating a scope divided into frames. These contribute to their parent's progress frame proportionately.
DoFirstThing();
Progress.EnterProgressFrame(1.f);
DoSecondThing();
}
This addresses TTP#338602 - NEEDS REVIEW: Editor progress bars nearly always just show 100%, don't offer useful indication of progress

#change Adding better (working) versions of Process.GetProcesses(), Process.Name and Process.Modules to BuildHostPlatformAbstraction
#change ShouldDoHotReload will now use those new methods to learn if the target is running
#change On the Mac, we can't use 'Added' filesystem event to know if new binaries have been compiled as it reports temporary linker files instead of the final binaries which are only reported by 'Modified' event.
[CL 2321016 by Robert Manuszewski in Main branch]
#change Added (desktop) platform abstraction for checking if UBT is running. Fully functional for Windows, WIP for Mac and Linux (should work, but can give false positives)

#ttp 345522: HotReload: Should not try to link DLLs when target is up to date
#change Added code to handle up-to-date state of modules in hot-reload code.
#change Added ECompilationResult::UpToDate and ECompilationResult::Canceled, ECompilationResult::Failed()
#change UBT: added -canskiplink command line param and support for skipping link actions when there was nothing to compile
