- made public headers compilable individually
- easier access to settings section delegates
- removed module singleton accessor
- moved non-trivial definitions into cpp files
- code & documentation cleanup
#UpgradeNotes:
- instead of ISettingsModule::Get() use FModuleManager::GetModulePtr<ISettingsModule>("Settings")
- instead of using FSettingsSectionDelegates assign delegates directly through the new ISettingsSection methods

* 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.

This commit adds the framework APIs, editor and rendering features needed to support live streaming. Along with this, we're working on a new plugin that adds Twitch.tv support (waiting for legal approval to commit.)
- Game live streaming
- Allows general support for live internet streaming of game video and audio
- Web cam video feed can be overlaid onto game viewports automatically
- New 'Broadcast' Blueprint function library allows you to easily start broadcasting from your game
- New IGameLiveStreaming API that allows you to start broadcasting through C++
- Editor live streaming
- The editor UI now displays a "broadcast" button automatically when a live streaming service is available
- Broadcasting of all desktop editor windows is supported (configured in preferences)
- If you have a web cam, video will be displayed automatically while broadcasting in a new editor window
- New "Live Streaming" editor preference tab with many new settings for configuring broadcasting
- New IEditorLiveStreaming API that lets you control editor broadcasting directly, if needed
- Added new 'Broadcast.Start' and 'Broadcast.Stop' console commands
- These allow you to easily test live streaming in games without writing UI code
- Built-in help is available for these new commands
- To implement a live streaming plugin:
- Inherit from the new ILiveStreamingService interface
- Register your "LiveStreaming" feature with the IModularFeatures system
- Other changes:
- Eliminated broken screen quad drawing functions; replaced with publicly-exposed DrawRectangle()
- Slate: Eliminated legacy code for 'marking windows as drawn' (not used anymore)
- Slate: Added Slate rendering callback to find out when a frame buffer is ready to be presented
