This code path was intended primarily for Cooked / Packaged builds, where precaching all the INI files available in cooked files gave a significant reduction in startup times.
However, for editor builds, this actually causes significantly higher startup times (20s longer, or more).

- allows to specifically filter plugins at runtime
- added checks in UBT that point out the incorrect presence/absence of the property

This reduces the number of system calls to determine if INI files exist, which significantly reduces mounting time for plugins.

This removes a costly RefreshPluginList call and prevents poluting the plugin manager with plugins we want to forget about once they are unloaded

Remove code that was stripping Base and Engine as it could have other similar side effects in out of date config code
This code might need further updates for UE5, the only reason it worked before was because it was depending on the fact that Find would create a nonsaveable config file when passed a bad key

Fix spelling error and comments while I'm already modifying this code
Change calling sites that were doing this manually to use new function, and fix a bad merge in the plugin code
Add logic to strip Base and Default prefixes from plugin config overrides, as the old behavior with Find instead of FindConfigFile lead to that sometimes working by accident
I may update the handling of Base/DefaultPluginName.ini in a separate checkin to make that more consistent

Do not log an error if LoadModulesForEnabledPlugins is called multiple times in a row on the same phase, since this occurs for PreEarlyLoadingScreen.
