Technically, it did work on the affected platforms, because we could modify a .cpp file and deploy this change, but UBT ran a full build script including compilation, linking and symbol generation, which is unnecessary because only compilation is needed. Thus, it increased the update time from 1-10 sec to 60 seconds (the time is dominated by the link time).
Fixed by adding a special Target to our projects that runs only compilation steps.

#rn fix Sony Live code edit (edit and continue) no longer triggers linking when applying code changes. This way iteration time is significantly reduced.

This is required to update the default visual studio version, however that change is currently on hold due to a compiler issue

- Don't make solution folders if there are no projects anywhere in them
- Fixed MemProfiler2.csproj to open on VSMac (although now with the above it is skipped anyway because it requires windows - but if we make it not require windows, we'd need this fix to match what UBT does)
