UE-7184 - Show game c++ classes and engine c++ classes in the content browser
The Content Browser now has extra entries for "Game C++ Classes" and "Engine C++ Classes" (with "Game" and "Engine" being renamed to "Game Content" and "Engine Content" respectively). These new folders serve as hosts for the list of available C++ modules, with each module internally mirroring the folder structure on disk.
For example:
- Game C++ Classes
- ShooterGame
- Classes
- Bots
- ShooterBot
- ShooterAIController
- [...]
- [...]
The Content Browser allows you to navigate and search these classes like you can with assets, and provides convenient access to either edit an existing class, or create a new class (either within a selected folder, or derived from a selected class).
As the Content Browser only shows you known UClass types, any new classes need to be compiled into a loaded module before they will appear. This means that adding a new class will now automatically hot-reload your target module. Should you prefer to handle building and loading your modules manually, you can disable the automatic hot-reload via "Editor Settings" -> "Miscellaneous" -> "Hot Reload" -> "Automatically Hot Reload New Classes" (see UEditorUserSettings::bAutomaticallyHotReloadNewClasses).

* Multicast delegate Add* calls now return FDelegateHandles, and Remove* calls are now all deprecated, except for a new Remove function which takes a FDelegateHandle.
* New FConsoleManager::RegisterConsoleVariableSink_Handle and UnregisterConsoleVariableSink_Handle functions which work in terms of FConsoleVariableSinkHandle.
* Timer calls which don't take FTimerHandles are deprecated.
* FTicker::AddTicker now returns an FDelegateHandle and is removed by an overloaded Remove function.
* DEFINE_ONLINE_DELEGATE* macros now define _Handle variants of the Add/Remove functions which return/take handles.
* Various other handle-based registration changes.
* Some unity build fixes.
* Some simplification of delegate code.
* Fixes for lots of existing code to use handle-based registration and unregistration.

- CDO property values that have changed after hot-reload will now be propagated to the existing instances
- Adding code to a non-code project will no longer require restarting the editor to be able to work with new code (the new module will automatically be compiled and loaded)

#jira UE-4770 - LIVE: Users are able to name a new class "Platform" even though there is already a class by that name in the Engine.

* Moved Slate.h into SlateBasics.h and began shifting less commonly used headers into SlateExtras.h.
* Slate.h now simply includes SlateBasics.h and SlateExtras.h.
* Slate.h includes a deprecated warning now to indicate that SlateBasics.h + specific includes should be used instead.
* Moved dozens of inlined functions using Slate widgets into .cpp files to avoid header dependencies.
* All code samples now include SlateBasics.h and SlateExtras.h so future shifts will not break most those projects, but not trigger the deprecation warning of including Slate.h.

#change Removed GGameName usage from code and replaced it with FApp::*GameName API
#change Added FApp::SetGameName(), FApp::IsGameNameEmpty()
#change Added IFileManager::GetFilenameOnDisk to get the correct case of a filename on disk
#change Renamed GGameName to GInternalGameName

- HW target settings now write to DefaultEngine.ini instead of DefaultEditor.ini when generating a project
- HW target settings now write their enum value as a string instead of an integer when generating a project

In order to use new feature user have to change GENERATED_UCLASS_BODY() macro to the new GENERATED_BODY(). Then no constructor is implicitly declared. If there is no constructor declared in UCLASS then PCIP one is declared and defined that passes PCIP down to super-class. On the other hand if there is a constructor declared then UObject system expects to have one of the default or PCIP constructor to initialize a class during loading from disk, default object creation, etc. and it expects that user will declare and define one.
There is a possibility now to create UCLASS with the default constructor (i.e. no PCIP).
New macro is encouraged by standard classes and in-editor wizards templates.

FScopedSlowTask has been refactored to better allow for nesting of slow operations. This allows us to cascade nested scopes and provide accurate feedback on slow tasks. FScopedSlowTasks now work together when nested inside sub functions. Break up long functions that contain calls to multiple nested FScopedSlowTasks with FScopedSlowTask::EnterProgressFrame().
Example Usage:
void DoSlowWork()
{
FScopedSlowTask Progress(2.f, LOCTEXT("DoingSlowWork", "Doing Slow Work..."));
// Optionally make this show a dialog if not already shown
Progress.MakeDialog();
// Indicate that we are entering a frame representing 1 unit of work
Progress.EnterProgressFrame(1.f);
// DoFirstThing() can follow a similar pattern of creating a scope divided into frames. These contribute to their parent's progress frame proportionately.
DoFirstThing();
Progress.EnterProgressFrame(1.f);
DoSecondThing();
}
This addresses TTP#338602 - NEEDS REVIEW: Editor progress bars nearly always just show 100%, don't offer useful indication of progress
