Some behavior changes:
Output paths - Both tools are now output to a subdirectory of Binaries/Dotnet, I believe most hardcoded paths have been fixed up but there may be tools that will fail because of this.
UAT Plugin Building - As .NET Core does not support AppDomain unloading, how we build the plugins has changed quite a bit, these are now built before UAT is started rather then by UAT itself. If you just start UAT via RunUAT.bat/sh this should just continue to work.

Also cleaned up some output assemblies, preventing all transative references from being outputed (as we assume they build directly to the output directory instead). Unfortunatley the UBT references still cause tranastive dependencies to be copied as this is also a executable that needs to work outside of UAT as well, we should eventually move all UBT referenced code into BuildUtilities.

Added CopyLocalLockFileAssemblies to some addins that added new dependencies (nuget packages) to make sure these gets added to the output folder.
UAT now have a dependency on WindowsForms (on Windows) to enable the WinForms usage in Gauntlet and Turnkey, but is still a console application so just making sure the right assemblies are referenced.
Fixed up shootergame csproj were I had accidentally removed EngineDir props which would have prevented it from working for installed builds as a foreign project.

Also reduces footprint on disk and speedsup builds slightly.
Also took a pass over all projects to fixup their output paths as there were some inconsitencies from my port to netcore.
Lastly I disabled the resource folders for everything but english to reduce some of the noise in the output folder, this just impacts which languages you get code analysis.
#jira UE-102147

[CL 14651855 by Joakim Lindqvist in ue5-main branch]
Added a NET_CORE define to allow us to have changes side by side.
The AWS S3 changes are required due to us requiring to upgrade the S3 assembly version to get net core support (which made all methods async).
The ACL checks for files are not available in the system libraries of net core, as such the api is a bit different.
AutomationToolLauncher now just spawns a subprocess when used in netcore, as netcore does not support custom AppDomains and shadow copying. We will generally need to revisit this for netcore as this whole feature of building the source for UAT in UAT is not really possible.
To enable this set environment variable "UE_USE_DOTNET=1", note that with netcore all applications change their output path so this will likely break a bit of tooling when enabled.

This is handled by the ELocTextPlatformSplitMode enum, used by FLocTextHelper (default is ELocTextPlatformSplitMode::None to preserve old behavior), and allows you to optionally split localization data for all platforms, or for any NDA restricted platforms. Note: Any localization data that is used by multiple platforms is still considered platform agnostic, even if it appears only within platform specific files.

Change 4247246 by Leigh.Swift
BuildPatchTool: Adding support to BPT PackageChunks to filter by tagsets, and also split chunkdb output by them too.
Change 4173518 by Wes.Fudala
WebBrowser: Adding support to enable allowing net security expirations.
Change 4102451 by Leigh.Swift
BuildPatchTool: PackageChunks: Adding tool mode JSON output for listing created chunkdb files.
Change 4099951 by Leigh.Swift
BuildPatchTool: PackageChunks: Adding PrevManifestFile commandline support to BPT PackageChunks mode, allowing us to generate chunkdbs that only cover data required to perform an update.
Change 4051406 by Leigh.Swift
BuildPatchServices: Update default number of simultaneous downloads for an installer to 16 which is now well proven in the wild.
Change 4036807 by Leigh.Swift
BuildPatchServices: Added new message type for receiving updates about which files have been touched by the installation.
BuildPatchServices: Cloud enumeration is now threaded to improve speed.
Change 4036477 by Richard.Fawcett
Thirdparty: AWSSDK: Update AWS SDK to version 3.3 as speculative fix for object is used after being disposed error.
Confirmed this exception is being raised from within the AWS SDK, and _not_ in Epic code.
Advice by Amazon on AWS forums for people experiencing this exception is always to update to the latest version of the SDK in the first instance.
Change 3922493 by Justin.Sargent
Runtime: Added shortcircuit support to the ExpressionParser. More documentation to come.
AgreementExpressionEvaluator has been updated to use the shortcircuit logic so it now processes expressions lef to right as expected in all cases.
AgreementExpressionEvaluator was also updated to perform evaluation as a two pass system. The tow pass solution prevents over prompting eulas in certain scenarios where the expression would ultimately resolve true without them.
Change 3983713 by Barnabas.McManners
BuildPatchServices: Fix for verification logging error counts for unique runs. Solved the issue by using an external cache of the errors encountered each run to deduct from the total. Reporting only the delta.
Change 3966915 by Wes.Fudala
WebBrowser: CEF: Potential fix for a rare issue encountered when we attempting to release resources outside of the game thread.
Change 3955168 by Justin.Sargent
BuildPatchServices: Updated primary messaging of overall install status to now display Updating when patching an existing installation rather than Installing.
Change 3954610 by Leigh.Swift
BuildPatchServices: Fixing issue with Cloud Chunk Source which would erroneously conclude that it needed to re-download a chunk due to external system failure.
There is now an explicit concept of 'lost chunk' which is tracked and bubbled up by the system errors that cause the loss in the first place, so that each source knows exactly when it should be required to retrieve a chunk that it had already retrieved previously. Being explicit, these lost chunks can also now contribute to the total download required stat.
Also fixing some tracking that was missing to update the total download required stat if a local Install Chunk Source failed to load data from the files on disk and so these chunks needed to be additionally downloaded.
Change 3947928 by Chad.Garyet
UAT: Changing commandutils to attempt to find the Win8.1sdk signtool before the win10 one. There's currently a bug related to vs2017/server2012r2/win10sdk signtool that causes it to exit with an undefined error when signing from a service account. Using the win8.1sdk circumvents this issue.
Change 3942776 by Rob.Cannaday
Http: Fix for Mac sending up duplicate header strings
Change 3940306 by Leigh.Swift
BuildPatchServices: Refactor to isolate CoreUObject dependency and be able to compile out usage.

Slate: Changed the invalid fontcache ensure in ShapedTextCache from always to only once to reduce ensure spamChange 3917840 by Leigh.Swift
BuildPatchTool: DiffManifests mode now also saves info for New, Removed, Changed, and Unchanged file to the output json file.
Change 3911756 by Justin.Sargent
WebBrowser: SWebBrowserView now ensures that it has a valid pointer to it's parent window in it's onpaint to avoid issues with the first frame being scaled incorrectly due to not being able to access the parent windows dpi scaling.
Change 3906670 by Justin.Sargent
Slate: Change the ShapedTextCache to hold a weakptr to the Slate FontCache instead of a reference. This will allow it to detect if the FontCache has become invalid since it was linked with the ShapedTextCache, thus making it able to avoid crashing.
Change 3889008 by Justin.Sargent
StandaloneRenderer: Made the SlateD3DRenderingPolicy more resilient to graphics device errors.
Change 3886969 by Justin.Sargent
StandaloneRenderer:Changed SlateD3DConstantBuffer to no longer check on a D3DDevice failure and instead soft fail, so the application can go through the process of attempting to re-establish the D3DDevice.
Change 3886960 by Justin.Sargent
WebBrowser: Made CEFWebBrowserWindow more resilient to issues with creating textures.
Change 3855821 by Barnabas.McManners

Change 3839245 by Wes.Fudala
WebBrowser: Adding support for web browser drag regions. These are areas of a page tagged with -webkit-app-region: drag or -webkit-app-region: no-drag. The application can now pass a handler function to the browser to handle window drag events. This handler will be called if the browser detects mouse drag events inside of a tagged drag region.
Change 3835225 by Jacob.Hedges

Change 3775678 by Richard.Fawcett
BuildPatchServices: Allow a Prerequisite install only mode.
Change 3774365 by Justin.Sargent
BuildPatchServices: Updated Build Stat report that is logged after every installation to use FText::AsMemory instead of the UnitConversion logic, and now it outputs multiple unit types for convenience.

WebBrowser: Release CEF related references prior to CEF shutdown.
Change 3738003 by Leigh.Swift
BuildPatchServices: Fix-ups for install stats when failures are occurring
NumFilesOutdated now only set on first run, so it is not set to the number of files that are retried.
Total downloaded data and total download requirement stats fixed up for runtime as well as final values.
Initial chunk counters now only set for first run.
Moving the GetBytesDownloaded api from cloud source to download service so that it correctly accumulates.
InstallSource was multiply attempting, and counting, recycle failures, throwing that stat out of proportion.
Change 3729851 by Barnabas.McManners
BuildPatchServices: Changed the installer's MoveFile method to default to not retry. We currently only have uses of move file which already handle retry.

Fixes for a couple of issues found by address sanitizer
Change 3625568 by Leigh.Swift
BuildPatchServices: Fixing numerical limits problem with double -> uint64 in FStatsCollector::SecondsToCycles().
