- Windows XP is now configurable from the editor under: Project Settings | Windows | Minimum OS Version
- We will now have a UE4Game_xp.exe which will be used for XP supported content only games
- - - Added support to UBT to choose a file name when running a build, approved by Rob M.
- - - Added functionality to UAT to look for an _xp.exe when packaging.
- Minimum Windows OS, is Vista by default.
- Bootstrap Packaged Game Program is now also built with windows xp support.
Fix for JIRA issues

[CL 2379024 by Terence Burns in Main branch]
- made public headers compilable individually
- easier access to settings section delegates
- removed module singleton accessor
- moved non-trivial definitions into cpp files
- code & documentation cleanup
#UpgradeNotes:
- instead of ISettingsModule::Get() use FModuleManager::GetModulePtr<ISettingsModule>("Settings")
- instead of using FSettingsSectionDelegates assign delegates directly through the new ISettingsSection methods

Followed pattern set out by texture streaming so that each chunk of audio data resides in its own bulkdata struct. It is currently possible to split audio into chunks when SoundWaves are marked for streaming but there is no way of doing this exposed at present.
Changed the parameters of FAudioDevice::GetRuntimeFormat so that the relevant SoundWave must be passed in, to allow for different formats for individual sounds/streaming options.
USoundWave::FreeResources no longer resets the NumChannels as it is unnecessary and causes sounds to be unable to play after the OGG data is flushed when attempting to switch to OPUS.

TTP# 337136 - SETTINGS: Target Platform settings polish
TTP# 337652 - EDITOR: Limit Project supported Android icons down to 1
TTP# 337650 - EDITOR: There is only 1 icon for Apple for Project Supported Platforms
DesktopPlatform now contains a static array of FPlatformInfo. This can be used to query UE4 about its available platforms, even when they're not available as a target platform.
FPlatformInfo contains the information required by the editor (such as a localized display name and icon), as well as whether a platform is a variation ("flavor") of another, and if so, whether the flavor affects the build output (eg, Win32 or Win64), or the cook output (eg, Android_XYZ). This lets the editor build up nested menus for the "Package Project" and "Cook Project" options, rather than just showing everything as a flat list.

User can now select target RHI's for windows under: Edit->Project Preferences->Windows->Targeted RHIs
Split up GetShaderFormats into GetAllPossibleShaderFormats and GetAllTargetedShaderFormats.
D3D11 and D3D10 remain the only two on, by default, for windows.

Up until this change, project settings caused a lot of confusion amongst users, because they were changed to the user's local INI files. The local INI files, however, would be ignored when packaging a project, which means that local setting changes would not be applied to a packaged project and cause unexpected behavior. With this change the project settings will always save to the default INI file and will therefore be included in packaged projects. We will see how this works out for everyone, and we may change this behavior to something else if we can come up with a better, more intuitive workflow for project settings.
Upgrade Notes:
- If you have changes for Project Settings in your local INI files, you may want to 'Set as Default' in the Editor and then delete the local INI
- The default INI files (i.e. DefaultEngine.ini) of your project need to be writable. If you use source control, make sure you check out the corresponding files before changing project settings

XP support is off by default and currently only supported for win32 builds using Visual Studio 2013
I have updated a lot of platform atomic calls to use 32 bits as 64 is not supported on windows xp.
Added extra checks in d3d11 to ensure that these cached shaders are for that platform.
Added a validity check to the TextInputMethodSystem before we try and process input.
128 bit atomics disabled for header generator. Causes issues with xp compilation. Reviewed by Steve Robb.
Texture Memory size stats changed to from bytes to kilobytes to satisfy dependency for 32 bit atomics.
Note: OpenGL is the default RHI for WindowsXP.
