Use a TOptional in FApp, if there is not TCProvider, the frame time will be invalidated. This will change soon in another CL where we will have a "default" TC if no provider is defined but the frame time can be invalid if the TC provider is not "synchronized".
Remove FTimecode for maths in LiveLink and nDisplay, only use timecode for display.
Use FTimecode::IsDropFormatTimecodeSupported for now, to convert from FrameTime to Timecode. That will be changed in another CL when we support NDF and DF properly.
Deprecated AudioCaptureTimecodeProvider.
Generate a default TC value when no TC provided is set. By default it's enabled and the framerate is 24 fps.
Add a CVar that set the engine in DropFrame or NonDropFrame when the TC is 29.97 or 59.94.
Remove the option in sequencer to select between the 2. It's a CVar and not a project settings because other softwares that link with Core need that information.

Initial pass at exposing Sequencer's Render to Movie functionality to Python.

A basic API is provided which enables querying if a render in progress and canceling an in progress one.
