Orion: Improve login screen on PC to reduce the potential impact of framerate on data center ping calculation
- Disabled async streaming for the duration of the QOS ping measurement to avoid hitches
- Added a circular throbber in the top left corner of the login screen indicating that something is async streaming (as a diagnostic tool for users affected by the datacenter ping, can be removed in the future)
- Added logging of the current average frame time when the datacenter ping is finalized
- Added a 'Pick Ideal Settings' button to the login screen (note: on the actual screen, not the login widget, so it will not appear on PS4)

MAJOR FEATURES + CHANGES
==========================
Change 2783106 on 2015/11/30 by Robert.Manuszewski@Robert.Manuszewski_NCL_Stream2
Introduced GC UObject clusters. GC clusters provide means to create disregard for GC subsets at load time (e.g. Materials with material expressions and their textures).
- Saves about 25ms in reachability analysis (58ms -> 33ms)
- UObject classes/instances can now be marked as cluster root objects with CanBeClusterRoot() function override.
- Cluster creation is automatic. Clusters don't require any manual handling for GC to collect them when nothing is referencing them.
- Moved token stream processing to a new class FFastReferenceFinder to make it more generic and re-usable by other code
- Removed REFERENCE_INFO macro from GC code and replaced it with a local variable (saves about ~1.9ms: 33.2ms -> 31.3ms)
Change 2773094 on 2015/11/19 by Steve.Robb@Dev-Core
Multicast script delegate check for existing bindings replaced with ensure.
Multicast native delegate no longer checks for existing bindings.
Removal of old delegate code.
Some FORCEINLINEing to improve debugging experience of stepping into delegate code.
Change 2782180 on 2015/11/27 by Graeme.Thornton@GThornton_DesktopMaster
Make scoped seconds timer class available outside of stats build. Normal usage macros still remain guarded
Added SCOPE_SECONDS_COUNTER_RECURSION_SAFE which only times during the outmost instance of a recursive function
Added SCOPE_SECONDS_COUNTER_RECURSION_SAFE_BASE and SCOPE_SECONDS_COUNTER_BASE which are defined in all build types, for easy temporary timing in Test/Shipping builds.
Added a boolean parameter to the timer class which can be used to disable it without having to mess around with scoping the calling code
Change 2782635 on 2015/11/30 by Graeme.Thornton@GThornton_DesktopMaster
Added GetTimeStampPair() to the filemanager and platformfile interfaces. Requests timestamps for a pair of files where we assume that both files would always exist at the same wrapper level. Allows us to skip file system queries for localization package lookups where the native file is in a pak but the localized file doesn't exist.

#UE4 Removed DiskCachedAssetDataBuffer as it was not strictly necessary and was triggering a crash when loading the cached registry from disk. This data is now stored directly in DiskCachedAssetDataMap. It was already true that this map does not change outside of SerializeCache but now it is critical since NewCachedAssetDataMap keeps pointers directly to its values.
Asset registry fixes by Bob Tellez. Possible fix for UE-23783.
Change 2782564 on 2015/11/30 by Robert.Manuszewski@Robert.Manuszewski_NCL_Stream1
FReferenceCollector::AddReferenceObjects performance improvements for TArrays. ARO will no longer call HandleObjectReference multiple times but instead will call HandleObjectReferences just once (currently only implemented for FGCCollector). Reduces the number of virtual function calls while GC'ing.

You can now use GetStatData to get all of the stat data for a file (its timestamps, size, read-only state, and type (file or directory)) in a single file-system request. Depending on the platform, this can be much more efficient than making multiple requests.
This change also adds alternate directory iteration functions (IterateDirectoryStat and IterateDirectoryStatRecursive) for when you need the stat data along with the files/directories on disk. For platforms that provide this stat data as part of the low-level directory iteration (such as Windows), this can yield much better performance than making two separate file-system requests. Platforms that do not provide this information as part of the directory iteration will just perform a stat request while iterating.
