940f5a5f73 LiveCoding: Create a new external module that includes the appropriate headers for Visual Studio automation support (VisualStudioDTE), allowing the UE-friendly version to be used by the VS source code accessor as well as Live Coding.

583aa01bf7 LiveCoding: Add support for lazy loading modules. This lets us enable live coding for the entire engine without a large startup penalty. Project modules are still preloaded by default.

cf183af67c Integrating live coding feature (aka Live++) into UE4.
Allows fast iteration of C++ changes without restarting the application. To use, select the "Live Coding (Experimental)" mode from the drop down menu next to the editor's compile button, or type "LiveCoding" into the console for a monolithic build. Press Ctrl+Alt+F11 to find changes and compile.

Changes vs standalone Live++ version:

* UBT is used to execute builds. This allows standard UE4 adaptive unity mode, allows us to reuse object files when we do regular builds, supports using any build executor allowed by UBT (XGE, SNDBS, etc..).
* Adding new source files is supported.
* Custom visualizer for FNames is supported via a weakly linked symbol in a static library (Engine/Extras/NatvisHelpers).
* Settings are exposed in the editor's project settings dialog.
* Standalone application has been rewritten as a Slate app ("LiveCodingConsole"). There is an additional option to start the program as hidden, where it will not be visible until Ctrl+Alt+F11 is hit. Similarly, closing the window will hide it instead of closing the application.
* Does not require a standalone licensed version of Live++.

Known issues:

* Does not currently support class layout changes / object reinstancing
