Have UBT set the source target name as a define during compilation. For unique environments, embed that macro globally, but in shared environments just embed it into game modules.
Have the primary game module bind that define to a core delegate so engine systems can query it
Make LiveCodingModule pass the UBT target name to the UBT so that it doesn't have to guess which target to build
For agnostic executables (UE4Game, UE4Editor) running content only projects, the delegate won't be bound, so revert back to type based recompile requests in live coding
Handle DTE string for VS2019 in the source code accessor module

- UnsafeTypeCastWarningLevel can be set to WarningLevel.Warning or WarningLevel.Error in ModuleName.Build.cs (off by default)
- Currently only supported on MS compilers (Clang ignores the setting for now)

The engine will always be built with it as an error.

Thus we renamed bFasterWithoutUnity to bUseUnity (note the inversion of the statement) which is what you should use if a module does not support building in Unity mode.

Live++ reads object files at startup for game modules, and assigns unique ids to each compiland (used to disambiguate static variables). When compiling the patch, these compilands are modified to reference a unique id for the unity blob, causing the variables to be reconstructed.
Solution is to generate a JSON file to each output directory containing object files containing the mapping, and to use that to assign compiland ids at startup.

- This allows for Confidential platforms to exist outside of the engine, and insert themselves in as needed
- Directory structure is, where .... mirrors the directory structure for Engine and projects
- /Platforms/XXX/....
- Moving to more data driven approach for ShaderPlatforms and PlatformInfo, where they can be read from DataDrivenPlatformInfo.ini files that live in the platform config folders
- Removed platform mentions from UBT, by way of changing some enums to partial classes with static members (see UnrealTargetPlatform)
- Various other UBT/UAT modifications to allow for looking in other locations for files
- THIS IS NOT A COMPLETE AND FINAL SOLUTION. WE WILL CONTINUE WORK IN DEV-BUILD BEFORE ITS READY FOR PRIMETIME
