Any build targets have a DefaultBuildSettings property. For engine targets, this defaults to BuildSettingsVersion.Latest. For project targets, this defaults to BuildSettingsVersion.Release_4_23. For new projects, this will default to the engine version they are created from.
If a target is not using the latest default build settings, they will receive a message describing the settings that have changed, like this:
[Upgrade]
[Upgrade] Using UE 4.23 compatible build settings. The latest version of UE4 sets the following values by default, which may require code changes:
[Upgrade] bLegacyPublicIncludePaths = false => Omits subfolders from public include paths to reduce compiler command line length.
[Upgrade] PCHUsage = PCHUsageMode.UseExplicitOrSharedPCHs => Set in build.cs files to enables IWYU-style PCH model. See https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Programming/BuildTools/UnrealBuildTool/IWYU/index.html.
[Upgrade] Suppress this message by setting 'DefaultBuildSettings = BuildSettingsVersion.Release_4_24;' in UnrealPak.Target.cs, and explicitly overriding desired settings.
[Upgrade]
Intent is to reduce friction for users initially upgrading to new engine versions, while notifying them of more optimal build settings being available, and letting them choose when (or if) to use them.

Added SystemLibrary list you can use if you actually need to add a module without a fully qualified path and dont want to see this warning (should not be needed in most cases)
Also updated the android toolchain to filter paths to a library in the same way a additional library search path is filtered enabling us to just specify the full path to multiple libraries for different architectures.

Thus we renamed bFasterWithoutUnity to bUseUnity (note the inversion of the statement) which is what you should use if a module does not support building in Unity mode.

- This allows for Confidential platforms to exist outside of the engine, and insert themselves in as needed
- Directory structure is, where .... mirrors the directory structure for Engine and projects
- /Platforms/XXX/....
- Moving to more data driven approach for ShaderPlatforms and PlatformInfo, where they can be read from DataDrivenPlatformInfo.ini files that live in the platform config folders
- Removed platform mentions from UBT, by way of changing some enums to partial classes with static members (see UnrealTargetPlatform)
- Various other UBT/UAT modifications to allow for looking in other locations for files
- THIS IS NOT A COMPLETE AND FINAL SOLUTION. WE WILL CONTINUE WORK IN DEV-BUILD BEFORE ITS READY FOR PRIMETIME

- Brings over the necessary engine changes for embedding UE4 mobile as a dylib/so in native mobile app
- Various changes for facial animation, screen recording, others
- ARKit and ARCore plugins were removed, as deemed "not ready"

* Engine modules are not built for program targets by default.
* Plugin modules that are whitelisted for the given program will be built by default, unless disabled via the PrecompileForTargets setting in the ModuleRules class.
* The same logic is used to determine plugin suitability for a target as the UEBuildTarget.AddPlugin() method.
