Have UBT set the source target name as a define during compilation. For unique environments, embed that macro globally, but in shared environments just embed it into game modules.
Have the primary game module bind that define to a core delegate so engine systems can query it
Make LiveCodingModule pass the UBT target name to the UBT so that it doesn't have to guess which target to build
For agnostic executables (UE4Game, UE4Editor) running content only projects, the delegate won't be bound, so revert back to type based recompile requests in live coding
Handle DTE string for VS2019 in the source code accessor module

Any build targets have a DefaultBuildSettings property. For engine targets, this defaults to BuildSettingsVersion.Latest. For project targets, this defaults to BuildSettingsVersion.Release_4_23. For new projects, this will default to the engine version they are created from.
If a target is not using the latest default build settings, they will receive a message describing the settings that have changed, like this:
[Upgrade]
[Upgrade] Using UE 4.23 compatible build settings. The latest version of UE4 sets the following values by default, which may require code changes:
[Upgrade] bLegacyPublicIncludePaths = false => Omits subfolders from public include paths to reduce compiler command line length.
[Upgrade] PCHUsage = PCHUsageMode.UseExplicitOrSharedPCHs => Set in build.cs files to enables IWYU-style PCH model. See https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Programming/BuildTools/UnrealBuildTool/IWYU/index.html.
[Upgrade] Suppress this message by setting 'DefaultBuildSettings = BuildSettingsVersion.Release_4_24;' in UnrealPak.Target.cs, and explicitly overriding desired settings.
[Upgrade]
Intent is to reduce friction for users initially upgrading to new engine versions, while notifying them of more optimal build settings being available, and letting them choose when (or if) to use them.

- This allows for Confidential platforms to exist outside of the engine, and insert themselves in as needed
- Directory structure is, where .... mirrors the directory structure for Engine and projects
- /Platforms/XXX/....
- Moving to more data driven approach for ShaderPlatforms and PlatformInfo, where they can be read from DataDrivenPlatformInfo.ini files that live in the platform config folders
- Removed platform mentions from UBT, by way of changing some enums to partial classes with static members (see UnrealTargetPlatform)
- Various other UBT/UAT modifications to allow for looking in other locations for files
- THIS IS NOT A COMPLETE AND FINAL SOLUTION. WE WILL CONTINUE WORK IN DEV-BUILD BEFORE ITS READY FOR PRIMETIME

The values that it previously forced values to are now configured as follows:
* bBuildEditor is a read-only property that returns true if and only if the target type is Editor.
* bCompileSimplygon and bCompileSimplygonSSF now a property which will default to true for Windows editor, if Simplygon is available. It can also be explicitly enabled or disabled.
* bCompileSpeedTree is now a property which will default to true for editor targets, and can also be explicitly enabled or disabled.
