2) Reworked how "stop after error" works
3) Fixed issue where error propagation might result in a failure to exit.

2) Moved common code from executors into an immediate action queue.
3) Added support in the immediate action queue to read/write artifacts

Fixed an issue where it was possible to do more parallel actions than cores available.

Why do this:
Currently when compiling a cpp file with MSVC, it compiles across multiple cores while clang does not. This means that while we support limiting the number of cores(using ProcessorCountMultiplier), MSVC will use more cores than we specify. It also means that MSVC will always be faster when compiling because clang does not support compiling a cpp over multiple cores. To get similiar results when compiling with clang, we set the weight of MSVC to 1.5 and the weight of clang to 1.0. We then set the ProcessorCountMultiplier to 1.5. This results in MSVC and clang taking roughly the same amount of CPU utilization and clang compiles to be much faster.
Old Timing(secs) Old CPU Utilization New Timing New CPU Utilization(secs)
PlatformA AncientGame 590.94 51 431.47 73
MSVC AncientGameEditor 1016.96 94 1026.08 95
Clang AncientGameEditor 1543.72 63 1270.4 84
PlatformB AncientGame 494 52 396.95 74
Old = without weight path
New = with weight path

* Changed so ParallelExecutor is creating build tasks as resources becomes available instead of building up a big task graph up front. The way the previous parallel executor was implemented could cause poor utilization of resources.
With this change plus 23915597 FortniteEditor wall time went down from ~15m to 13m (tested three times with and without changes)
