Adding Texture LOD settings to Device Profiles
- this will improve how we currently edit and override lod settings on a per device type bases.
- LOD Settings can now be set in the Device Profile Editor
- Any device profiles with no values set for LOD Settings, will use the default objects.
- These can be found in BaseDeviceProfiles.ini in the /Script/Engine.TextureLODSettings section
- Appropriate defaults set for those groups not listed.
-Other fixes
- - Incorrect with_editor check in HTML5 target platform, changed to with_engine

* Multicast delegate Add* calls now return FDelegateHandles, and Remove* calls are now all deprecated, except for a new Remove function which takes a FDelegateHandle.
* New FConsoleManager::RegisterConsoleVariableSink_Handle and UnregisterConsoleVariableSink_Handle functions which work in terms of FConsoleVariableSinkHandle.
* Timer calls which don't take FTimerHandles are deprecated.
* FTicker::AddTicker now returns an FDelegateHandle and is removed by an overloaded Remove function.
* DEFINE_ONLINE_DELEGATE* macros now define _Handle variants of the Add/Remove functions which return/take handles.
* Various other handle-based registration changes.
* Some unity build fixes.
* Some simplification of delegate code.
* Fixes for lots of existing code to use handle-based registration and unregistration.

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.
[CL 2399803 by Jamie Dale in Main branch]
Introduces the concept of "Active Ticking" to allow Slate to go to sleep when there is no need to update the UI.
While asleep, Slate will skip the Tick & Paint pass for that frame entirely.
- There are TWO ways to "wake" Slate and cause a Tick/Paint pass:
1. Provide some sort of input (mouse movement, clicks, and key presses). Slate will always tick when the user is active.
- Therefore, if the logic in a given widget's Tick is only relevant in response to user action, there is no need to register an active tick.
2. Register an Active Tick. Currently this is an all-or-nothing situation, so if a single active tick needs to execute, all of Slate will be ticked.
- The purpose of an Active Tick is to allow a widget to "drive" Slate and guarantee a Tick/Paint pass in the absence of any user action.
- Examples include animation, async operations that update periodically, progress updates, loading bars, etc.
- An empty active tick is registered for viewports when they are real-time, so game project widgets are unaffected by this change and should continue to work as before.
- An Active Tick is registered by creating an FWidgetActiveTickDelegate and passing it to SWidget::RegisterActiveTick()
- There are THREE ways to unregister an active tick:
1. Return EActiveTickReturnType::StopTicking from the active tick function
2. Pass the FActiveTickHandle returned by RegisterActiveTick() to SWidget::UnregisterActiveTick()
3. Destroy the widget responsible for the active tick
- Sleeping is currently disabled, can be enabled with Slate.AllowSlateToSleep cvar
- There is currently a little buffer time during which Slate continues to tick following any input. Long-term, this is planned to be removed.
- The duration of the buffer can be adjusted using Slate.SleepBufferPostInput cvar (defaults to 1.0f)
- The FCurveSequence API has been updated to work with the active tick system
- Playing a curve sequence now requires that you pass the widget being animated by the sequence
- The active tick will automatically be registered on behalf of the widget and unregister when the sequence is complete
- GetLerpLooping() has been removed. Instead, pass true as the second param to Play() to indicate that the animation will loop. This causes the active tick to be registered indefinitely until paused or jumped to the start/end.

* 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

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.

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
