UETOOL-213 - Minimize Slate FString -> FText conversion (remove SLATE_TEXT_ATTRIBUTE)
This fixes any editor/engine specific code that was passing text to Slate as FString rather than FText.

* Moved Slate.h into SlateBasics.h and began shifting less commonly used headers into SlateExtras.h.
* Slate.h now simply includes SlateBasics.h and SlateExtras.h.
* Slate.h includes a deprecated warning now to indicate that SlateBasics.h + specific includes should be used instead.
* Moved dozens of inlined functions using Slate widgets into .cpp files to avoid header dependencies.
* All code samples now include SlateBasics.h and SlateExtras.h so future shifts will not break most those projects, but not trigger the deprecation warning of including Slate.h.

- Window menu is now sectioned and labeled based on the current editor. There's now a local workspace root member in FTabManager and a workspace category in FAssetEditorToolkit (both are FWorkspaceItem objects). Individual editors attach their local category to the tab manager's local root. Workflow app modes have their own category members that are swapped out when the mode changes.
- Finally, the AssetEditorCategory of FWorkspaceMenuStructure has been removed entirely.
- Replaced the AddMenuSeparator() call in FTabManager::PopulateSpawnerMenu_Helper() with a section of the same title as the workspace category.
- Tab spawner menu entries for the local editor now properly show the icon of the associated tab. To accomplish this it was necessary to change FWorkflowTabFactory::TabIcon to be an FSlateIcon instead of an FSlateBrush*. All factory instances have been updated accordingly.
- Added & updated lots of icons! (those missing will be TTP'd)
- The nomad tab spawner section (named "General" in the menu) has been largely compressed into the Developer Tools submenu, which has also been organized into sections for readability.
- Unreal frontend options were also moved into a context menu within the General section
- Moved all experimental tools to their own section of the Window menu. When they're no longer experimental they should register as nomads in the appropriate category
- Undo history now under Edit menu

#UDN: Feature suggestion; Content browser can sort by a second column
#branch UE4
#change
Added two new images for secondary sort ascending and descending.
(Updated styles where needed).
Added new enum EColumnSortPriority: currently only lists Primary and Secondary, but can easily accommodate more*.
(FOnSortModeChanged was modified to also have the priority as a param, fixedup existing usage).
SHeaderRow now also has a SortPriority attribute to specify the SortMode order
(Defaults to Primary if unused).
Modified TUniquePtr so that assigning one from another worked correctly.
(Reviewed by Steve Robb).
SAssetView is the only table that has been modified, so far, to take advantage of the secondary sort. SetMajorityAssetType has been updated to correctly filter out all those sorts which are no longer relevant and bump the priority of the remaining sorts to fill in the ægapsÆ made by non-longer-relevant ones.
FAssetViewSortManager has been overhauled to take SortPriority into consideration when sortingà
Firstly, duplicate comparison structs were removed in favour of single structs which have æascendingÆ as a paramà any remaining duplicate code was removed in favour of an inherited usage. The base struct has an array of æfurther methodsÆ to employ in the result of a tie. Should a tie occur the ænextÆ comparison is done, and so on until itÆs not a tie or we run out of comparisons to perform.*
The manager defaults to having no secondary sort, so it relies on the interface thatÆs using it to provide it.
Whenever a column is assign the code makes sure that itÆs not already assigned to another column and corrects the order to take this into account.
Fixed a bug in FCompareFAssetItemByTagNumericalAscending comparing A with A (instead of B).
Various optimizations to the sort to descrease times
*The only places æSecondaryÆ is referred to in code is in GetSortingBrush (so it can display the correct icon for the sort), and OnTitleClicked (so it can set to correct sort based on input). The sorting code itself has no concept as to a secondary sort, it can support any number of sorting levels so if in future a tertiary (or more) is added, it is only these two function which should need updating as the sort will automatically accommodate it.

Other Updates:
- The WidgetReflector is now in its own module as well. It will be converted to a plug-in later.
- The Public API of both Slate and SlateCore has largely been reorganized for better discoverabilty. More cleanup work is needed.
- Added a lot of missing API documentation and fixed existing ones. More and better documentation is needed.
- Removed dead code, fixed a couple things I stubled upon, and conformed to coding guidelines (NULL vs nullptr, line breaks, etc.)
Upgrade Notes:
- The Slate Remote Server is currently disabled - will be re-enabled shortly!
- If your module previously had a module dependency to 'Slate', it now also needs a PrivateModuleDependency to 'SlateCore' in its Build.cs file.
- If your module exposes in any of its Public header files types that are now declared in SlateCore, it needs a PublicModuleDependency to 'SlateCore'
- The ToolTip property type on SWidget has changed from SToolTip to IToolTip; change local variables to TSharedPtr<IToolTip> instead of TSharedPtr<SToolTip> where needed
- IToolTip is not a widget. If you need access to the actual widget that represents the tool tip, use IToolTip::AsWidget(); If you need access to the tool tip's content, use IToolTip::GetContentWidget()
Troubleshooting:
- After syncing to this changelist you may have to clean your /Engine/Intermediate/Build/ directory and rebuild your entire project
- If in your project you are getting linker errors for unresolved types that are now declared in SlateCore, you may be missing a dependency to 'SlateCore'
- If in the Engine code you are getting linker errors for unresolved types that are now declared in SlateCore, you may need to rebuild the entire Engine
