Newly installed versions of the engine will now attempt to copy the project-agnostic config settings from a previous engine installation. This happens by way of a versioned manifest that copies old versions when the manifest does not exist, or is a different version. This code path is benign for non-installed versions of the engine (or FPaths::ShouldSaveToUserDir() is false).
EditorGameAgnosticSettings and EditorUserSettings ini paths have been renamed to EditorSettings and EditorPerProjectUserSettings respectively to better convey their purpose. In general, most settings should be saved in EditorSettings (project-agnostic) so that they apply regardless of which project is open. We have some way to go migrating existing settings for this to be the case, however.
Some previously per-project configuration files are now project-agnostic (such as Editor.ini, EditorKeyBindings.ini, and EditorLayout.ini)
GEditor->Access...Settings and GEditor->Get...Settings have been removed in favor of direct access of the CDO through GetMutableDefault<> and GetDefault<> respectively. Global config ini filenames that are not set up are now neither loaded nor saved on build machines, to handle the problem of indeterminate state more generically.
This addresses UETOOL-270 (Most editor preferences should be project-agnostic)

Including:
* Better control over AIController::PerceptionComponent access
* implemented team affiliation handling to sight and hearing senses
* added a way to configure a sense if it wants to send out notifications on every perception even, or just on perception value change (like visibility lost or gained)

We've changed the way vtable ptr are obtained for UClasses. Right now we use special empty constructor to get it, so we don't have to use normal one which was causing troubles. This special vtable helper constructor is generated automatically for most cases, but sometimes it's not possible (e.g. no default constructor for members types). In such case there is a possibility to override that generated constructor and write a custom one. The signature is UCustomClass::UCustomClass(FVTableHelper& Helper) and it needs to call base class'es constructor with the same parameter. Please do not use these constructors for anything else. There is no guarantee the object will be in correct state after calling this.
You can still disable this functionality if something breaks, just set WITH_HOT_RELOAD_CTORS to 0.
