Remove dependencies from AutomationTool -> AutomationToolUtils
Removes compile-time dependencies, except for the call to AutomationTool.Automation.Process - which will be changed in a future CL.
This change is part of preparing AutomationTool to be able to build All *.Automation.csproj projects (including AutomationUtils.Automation.csproj)

Some behavior changes:
Output paths - Both tools are now output to a subdirectory of Binaries/Dotnet, I believe most hardcoded paths have been fixed up but there may be tools that will fail because of this.
UAT Plugin Building - As .NET Core does not support AppDomain unloading, how we build the plugins has changed quite a bit, these are now built before UAT is started rather then by UAT itself. If you just start UAT via RunUAT.bat/sh this should just continue to work.
