This has less verbose output when a build is successful (nothing) but still outputs errors when something is wrong, which means we can remove the redirection of stdout so we actually can see compile errors from UBT when running GenerateProjects.

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.

Added a set of netcore csprojs to BuildUtilities and DotnetUtilities that build to a seperate output folder. This allows other tools to still target .net framework (like UAT for instance).
UBT is still by default targeted as .net framework.
Note that UBT built for net core has a different output directory Engine/Binaries/DotNet/UnrealBuildTool/UnrealBuildTool.exe - this is due to how a netcore project output looks with signficantly more files that are related to that application (that would be overwritten if using a shared directory).
To opt in to this set UE_USE_DOTNET=1 environment variable.
Please note that due to the changed output directory a lot of tooling will likely break at this point.
