- Rocket doesn't bundle Linux libs, making code-based projects (and projects with third-party plugins) fail during compilation.
- Updated messaging to reflect this.
- Also added a SDK check for Linux and a 'getting' started UDN page.
- Updated Linux README for 4.8.

TTP# 337136 - SETTINGS: Target Platform settings polish
TTP# 337652 - EDITOR: Limit Project supported Android icons down to 1
TTP# 337650 - EDITOR: There is only 1 icon for Apple for Project Supported Platforms
DesktopPlatform now contains a static array of FPlatformInfo. This can be used to query UE4 about its available platforms, even when they're not available as a target platform.
FPlatformInfo contains the information required by the editor (such as a localized display name and icon), as well as whether a platform is a variation ("flavor") of another, and if so, whether the flavor affects the build output (eg, Win32 or Win64), or the cook output (eg, Android_XYZ). This lets the editor build up nested menus for the "Package Project" and "Cook Project" options, rather than just showing everything as a flat list.

- New target platforms (LinuxNoEditor for client+server, LinuxClient for client, Linux for editor, LinuxServer for dedicated server - mirroring other platforms).
- Preliminary support for gcc in the toolchain (and some safe fixes in code).
- No more lowercasing when accessing files on Linux, tread carefully.
- Changes needed for native compilation and other minor improvements.
