Change 3209340 on 2016/11/23 by Ben.Marsh
Convert UE4 codebase to an "include what you use" model - where every header just includes the dependencies it needs, rather than every source file including large monolithic headers like Engine.h and UnrealEd.h.
Measured full rebuild times around 2x faster using XGE on Windows, and improvements of 25% or more for incremental builds and full rebuilds on most other platforms.
* Every header now includes everything it needs to compile.
* There's a CoreMinimal.h header that gets you a set of ubiquitous types from Core (eg. FString, FName, TArray, FVector, etc...). Most headers now include this first.
* There's a CoreTypes.h header that sets up primitive UE4 types and build macros (int32, PLATFORM_WIN64, etc...). All headers in Core include this first, as does CoreMinimal.h.
* Every .cpp file includes its matching .h file first.
* This helps validate that each header is including everything it needs to compile.
* No engine code includes a monolithic header such as Engine.h or UnrealEd.h any more.
* You will get a warning if you try to include one of these from the engine. They still exist for compatibility with game projects and do not produce warnings when included there.
* There have only been minor changes to our internal games down to accommodate these changes. The intent is for this to be as seamless as possible.
* No engine code explicitly includes a precompiled header any more.
* We still use PCHs, but they're force-included on the compiler command line by UnrealBuildTool instead. This lets us tune what they contain without breaking any existing include dependencies.
* PCHs are generated by a tool to get a statistical amount of coverage for the source files using it, and I've seeded the new shared PCHs to contain any header included by > 15% of source files.
Tool used to generate this transform is at Engine\Source\Programs\IncludeTool.

#jira UE-16243 - Keyboard navigation of blueprint context menu is broken
[CL 2576975 by Michael Schoell in Main branch]
Big conversion of FStrings and FNames to FText.
Version bump to move some MaterialFunction UProperty from a TArray<FString> to TArray<FText> (some Engine assets are older than being allowed to auto-convert the UProperty)
Auto conversion of FName to FText (and back) now supported (as well as TArrays of those types).
Searching categories by both the localized string and the source string is now supported in Blueprints.
#jira UE-14481 - We are missing ability to translate node categories
#codereview Justin.Sargent
[CL 2542875 by Michael Schoell in Main branch]
Blueprint node searching now leverages localized keyword metadata for searching, so searches can now be done in the current langauge and English to find the same nodes.
#jira UE-12049 - Using translated editor, Blueprint node search returns differ for English search terms compared to search terms in the current language

Refactored logic for what selection type is allowed in a SGraphActionMenu to the widgets that react to the selection.
#jira UE-11644 - Selected BP Variables do not refresh details properly
[CL 2493909 by Michael Schoell in Main branch]
Blueprints: Fix a number of selection issues across a BP compile [UE-9862]
- Fix a bug where compiling with a custom event or input event selected in the My Blueprints graph would deselect it
- Fix a bug where "Multiple values" would be shown after recompiling with a variable entry is selected in My Blueprint
- Fix a bug where "Multiple values" would be shown after recompiling with a variable get/set selected in a graph
- Fix a bug where the standalone defaults editor wouldn't be updated properly when something else was selected during compilation
- Fixed that SMyBlueprint::OnActionSelected could clear the details panel without taking ownership when InAction was invalid (now always takes ownership first - long term we need to combine the two so that selecting something includes taking ownership)

[CL 2449924 by Matthew Griffin in Main branch]
UE-9549 - The SCSEditor is no longer portrayed in the API as if it's guaranteed to exist.
UE-9368 - We're now broadcasting foregrounding tab changes from the global tab manager. These changes are now watched by the workflow tab manager to then relay that information to anyone who cares. The blueprint editor now uses this information to have graph tabs properly clear the active graph ptr when a graph tab is no longer in the foreground.
[CL 2448562 by Matthew Griffin in Main branch]
Blueprints: Add automatic expansion of parent nodes when programmatically selecting an item in the My Blueprint tree [UE-9169]
[CL 2447163 by Matthew Griffin in Main branch]
BP - Fixing several selection issues. Selecting the CDO now highlights the button or the root actor node no matter which you you select. Creating new variables now refreshes the editors in the right order so that you can rename the variable after creating it.
[CL 2438221 by Matthew Griffin in Main branch]
Standard Macros lists 'ForEach' in it's description, scoring algorithm bug fixed (no longer multiplying succeeding scores, which allowed low scoring entries with lots of text to override good entries with succinct descriptoins), added keywords to UActorComponent::GetOwner. Tested context menu with the following keywords: if, actor, position, transform, rotation, for, foreach, parent, owner. Results for transform and rotation unchanged, results for position changed but not notably improved, all other results improved.
