add support for showing the various platforms in different menus whether they are properly installed or not
update FPlatformInfo to include information about SDK status, whether or not the platform should be shown on a particular executing platform (Win, Mac, Linux), and whether or not the platform should be shown as part of the binary distribution
fixed platform target modules for IOS, Android, and HTML5 for binary release

- Part of PR #306 by amigo and #ue4linux folks.
- LinuxNativeDialogs on hold until clarified with the author (their Build.cs needs to be modified to add WITH_LINUX_NATIVE_DIALOGS=1).

TTP# 340470 - BINARY: EDITOR: Platform icons are missing
The distill script assumes that anything inside a folder named the same as a platform name (eg, PS4) is a platform specific thing (which these icons are not). I've renamed the folders from "Platform" (eg, PS4) to "PlatformTarget" (eg, PS4Target) and updated the PlatformInfo array to reference their new location.

TTP# 337511 - ANALYTICS: Store Epic Account ID and Machine Unique GUIDs on Users Machine. Send with Every Event.
This works differently to what the TTP originally asked for, but I've checked with MaxP/MattK/WesH and we're okay with the way this works, as it avoids an annoyingly tight dependency between the analytics and the editor.
On the request of MattK, I also changed FPlatformMisc::GetRegistryString to be FPlatformMisc::GetStoredValue and added a corresponding FPlatformMisc::SetStoredValue. These will store generic key->value pairs using a platform specific store (the registry on Windows, and an INI file on other platforms).
DesktopPlatform uses these to provide access to the Machine ID and Epic Account ID (the Epic Account ID is set when the user logs into the Launcher).
The Editor sends an "Editor.ProgramStarted" event containing this data. This can then be tied to the current analytics session via the analytics session ID.
Tested on Windows and OS X.

TTP# 337136 - SETTINGS: Target Platform settings polish
TTP# 337652 - EDITOR: Limit Project supported Android icons down to 1
TTP# 337650 - EDITOR: There is only 1 icon for Apple for Project Supported Platforms
DesktopPlatform now contains a static array of FPlatformInfo. This can be used to query UE4 about its available platforms, even when they're not available as a target platform.
FPlatformInfo contains the information required by the editor (such as a localized display name and icon), as well as whether a platform is a variation ("flavor") of another, and if so, whether the flavor affects the build output (eg, Win32 or Win64), or the cook output (eg, Android_XYZ). This lets the editor build up nested menus for the "Package Project" and "Cook Project" options, rather than just showing everything as a flat list.
