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.

Always run UHT in unattended mode from UBT; we don't want it opening any dialogs. Match3 is currently missing a plugin, and it's causing builds to time out.

Change 2817815 on 2016/01/06 by Jamie.Dale
Multiple fixes when editing right-to-left text
- Text is now shaped over the entire line to allow rich-text and selected text to be shaped correctly across block boundaries.
- Text layout highlights are now able to correctly handle bi-directional and right-to-left text.
- Text picking can now handle bi-directional and right-to-left text.
- Text picking can now pick the individual characters that make up a ligature glyph.
- The caret now draws on the logical (rather than visual) side of the glyph (to handle right-to-left text).
- Glyph clusters (multiple glyphs produced from a single character) are now treated as a single logical glyph.
- Optimized some of the FShapedGlyphSequence to allow an early out once they've found and processed the start and end glyphs.

[CL 2582768 by Andrew Brown in Main branch]
- Added IDesktopPlatform::GetUserTempPath() and implemented it for windows
- Created SGetSuggestedIDEWidget class that handles whether to show a "Download X" hyperlink vs. an "Install X" button (depending on whether the platform supports on-demand installation)
- Analytics event added ("Editor.Usage.InstalledIDE") that fires whenever the "Install X" button is clicked
- Changed SourceCodeIDEURL_Windows in BaseEditor.ini from the VSC 2013 web page link to the installer download link (need to replace with perma-link once we have it)

Converted EFontImportFlags to an enum class in order to test this feature.

[CL 2108453 by Matt Kuhlenschmidt in Main branch]
Whenever a blank engine association is read from a .uproject via GetEngineIdentifierForProject(), it checks up the directory hierarchy for an engine capable of loading it via its .uprojectdirs search directories. If found, it will use that engine's local identifier from the registry, or register it if it doesn't exist.
Setting a project's engine association to an engine which is capable of loading it via it's .uprojectdirs will cause it to write a blank engine association string into the .uproject (and triggering the behaviour above on open).

* Lots of code moved into IDesktopPlatform for sharing with Launcher and Mac (including setting up file associations, querying project versions, etc...)
* Hack to enumerate all the known launcher engine installations. Does not use registry keys any more. Will probably change to use a list of installations generated by the launcher at some point soon.
* List of registered GitHub builds is stored in HKEY_CURRENT_USER
* Switching engine versions is now done through a dialog rather than through the context menu.
* VersionSelector includes a version number for shell integration, allowing it to defer to an existing installation of the same version if necessary.
