- Also add -BuildId flag to allow released builds to be registered as "launcher" builds.
- This gets us telemetry and the ability to open projects made on the Mac and Windows builds without being prompted to open a copy

* Added support for deserializing BgObject types directly into native classes.
* Removed opcodes for creating graph structures. These are now created in user code from BgObject types.
* Removed BgNodeSpecBuilder. BgNode objects can now be modified directly (returning a modified copy).
* Added concrete types for option parameters. The VM now keeps track of any parameters for evaluated options, allowing them to be added into the graph definition.
* Order dependencies now take nodes rather than outputs.
* Added explicit support for native thunks, whose bindings are saved to a sideband channel during compilation and referenced in bytecode as an index. This generalizes code that was previously specific to node definitions.
* Added a name table to bytecode, to optimize situations where we reference the same string mulitple times.

* Expression classes (nodes, aggregates, graphs, etc...) are now called BgNode, BgAggregate, etc...
* Evaluated and instantiated objects used by BuildGraph internals are now called BgNodeDef, BgAggregateDef, etc...

Nodes can now be implemented by arbitary C# methods. Graph structure is specified through expression trees implemented using Bg* types, which are not substituted with values until execution time. Doing so allows determination of node and option dependencies for a particular target, allowing us to generate dynamic UI for presenting relevant settings to the user.
Includes partial implementation of Installed Build script as an example implementation.
