UEB-261 - Ensure that compiling AutomationTool in VS will compile all other Automation Projects
* Just set AutomationTool as your startup project and pass the command to execute.
* VS will build the script modules at build time, instead of every time at runtime.
* To make this happen, "UBT.exe -ProjectFiles" now generates a companion AutomationTool.csproj.References that make AutomationTool depend on all Automation modules.
* AutomationTool.exe defaults to not building script modules at runtime. Pass -compile if you want to dynamically build them.
* Without the .references file, AutomationTool will only build itself and you will need to pass -compile.
* RunUAT.bat still works that same, defaulting to runtime compilation and supporting -nocompile flag. It then passes -compile (or nothing) to AutomationTool.
Other
* All Automation projects target .Net 4.5. Some already were and had hard dependencies on them (Rocket and SyncGithub -> Octokit). Now that AutomationTool directly depends on them, everything had to use .Net 4.5.
* Decoupled logic for -NoCompile and -NoCompileEditor. The flags are still confusing, but -NoCompile is no longer linked to -NoCompileEditor.
* Had to leave in stub support in UAT for -NoCompile else RunUAT.bat passes it along and UAT complains that it doesn't understand it.
* Added a CommandUtils.Run option to support run command, but still output the run duration.
* Reduced the verbosity when UAT.proj is run from dozens of lines per module to a single Module -> Output line. It was looking like there were problems, but it was just msbuild spew.

- Rocket doesn't bundle Linux libs, making code-based projects (and projects with third-party plugins) fail during compilation.
- Updated messaging to reflect this.
- Also added a SDK check for Linux and a 'getting' started UDN page.
- Updated Linux README for 4.8.

Newly installed versions of the engine will now attempt to copy the project-agnostic config settings from a previous engine installation. This happens by way of a versioned manifest that copies old versions when the manifest does not exist, or is a different version. This code path is benign for non-installed versions of the engine (or FPaths::ShouldSaveToUserDir() is false).
EditorGameAgnosticSettings and EditorUserSettings ini paths have been renamed to EditorSettings and EditorPerProjectUserSettings respectively to better convey their purpose. In general, most settings should be saved in EditorSettings (project-agnostic) so that they apply regardless of which project is open. We have some way to go migrating existing settings for this to be the case, however.
Some previously per-project configuration files are now project-agnostic (such as Editor.ini, EditorKeyBindings.ini, and EditorLayout.ini)
GEditor->Access...Settings and GEditor->Get...Settings have been removed in favor of direct access of the CDO through GetMutableDefault<> and GetDefault<> respectively. Global config ini filenames that are not set up are now neither loaded nor saved on build machines, to handle the problem of indeterminate state more generically.
This addresses UETOOL-270 (Most editor preferences should be project-agnostic)

fix for generating Target.cs when -nocodeproject is provided (removed -nocodeproject as it is no longer needed due to other fixes)
default plugins no longer cause a target file to be generated

Some dialogs, e.g. from save menu actions, don't need the two options.

Add a separate option in the packaging settings for whether to include debug files, and let it default to off. PDBs in packaged games aren't usually necessary, and they bloat the packaged game a lot. Also move the Full Rebuild setting out of the advanced section so people can see it. UE-9983.
