- Refactored the MergeActors different panels to reuse the same code.
- Adapted quick merge actions (required some refactoring)
- Fixed some issues with the "replace source actors" feature vs. actual selection
- Fixed crash when using the instancing mode with "replace source actors" enabled.

This phase focuses on the minimum set of changes needed to port the UnrealEd logic for handling the selection of actors and components within the Level Editor viewport to use typed element interfaces. There is still future work to be done to clean this up further.
This change adds a new framework type, UTypedElementSelectionSet, which manages the concept of "selection" for typed elements. Internally this owns its own UTypedElementList, and ensures that mutation of that list goes via the UTypedElementSelectionInterface implementations.
To allow specific asset editors to customize their selection behavior, UTypedElementSelectionSet may have "selection proxies" that implement UTypedElementAssetEditorSelectionProxy registered to it. This is what's used to allow the level editor to implement its type specific rules.
The core Level Editor selection implementation for actors and components now lives inside UActorElementLevelEditorSelectionProxy and UComponentElementLevelEditorSelectionProxy, and the existing UUnrealEdEngine functions that used to deal with this logic now proxy through to those implementations via UTypedElementSelectionSet. This means that the implementation has moved into the LevelEditor module without UnrealEd even knowing.
Future work will focus on:
- Cleaning up the legacy USelection bridge, so that all USelection instances are just a proxy around a UTypedElementSelectionSet.
- This will involve making a basic "Object" element type to handle the generic UObject based selection (for assets) that USelection also handles.
- This should allow GetMutableElementList to be removed from UTypedElementSelectionSet, to avoid potential abuse or misuse.
- Investigating the best way to integrate element based selection into the editor modes.

- Content browser drawer now working well with ctrl+space as the default keybinding. Summoning the drawer will immediately focus the search bar. Had to add some new hooks into the content browser api for that
- Moved status bar to a proper module

Allows fast iteration of C++ changes without restarting the application. To use, select the "Live Coding (Experimental)" mode from the drop down menu next to the editor's compile button, or type "LiveCoding" into the console for a monolithic build. Press Ctrl+Alt+F11 to find changes and compile.
Changes vs standalone Live++ version:
* UBT is used to execute builds. This allows standard UE4 adaptive unity mode, allows us to reuse object files when we do regular builds, supports using any build executor allowed by UBT (XGE, SNDBS, etc..).
* Adding new source files is supported.
* Custom visualizer for FNames is supported via a weakly linked symbol in a static library (Engine/Extras/NatvisHelpers).
* Settings are exposed in the editor's project settings dialog.
* Standalone application has been rewritten as a Slate app ("LiveCodingConsole"). There is an additional option to start the program as hidden, where it will not be visible until Ctrl+Alt+F11 is hit. Similarly, closing the window will hide it instead of closing the application.
* Does not require a standalone licensed version of Live++.
Known issues:
* Does not currently support class layout changes / object reinstancing
