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)

fix for generating Target.cs when -nocodeproject is provided (removed -nocodeproject as it is no longer needed due to other fixes)
default plugins no longer cause a target file to be generated

Some dialogs, e.g. from save menu actions, don't need the two options.
#jira UE-10400 - Clicking on Save All brings up same window as when closing the editor

Add a separate option in the packaging settings for whether to include debug files, and let it default to off. PDBs in packaged games aren't usually necessary, and they bloat the packaged game a lot. Also move the Full Rebuild setting out of the advanced section so people can see it. UE-9983.

There were two problems with this. One, I had to suppress registering build platforms in UBT if the project has no code. To achieve this I added new flag -nocodeproject and I'm passing it down from the editor to UAT.
The second one emerged after fixing previous one. The Editor was adding -build flag to the UAT if it found any of the VS 2012 or 2013. -build flag is making UAT to try to build, which fails as it is not supported on VS 2012-only system. During the discussion with platform team we came up with the solution to not check for VS 2012 in editor, as we only support it for XDK development, which requires both VSes on the system (2012 and 2013). Hence flag -build should be appended to the UAT command line if and only if there is VS2013 on the system.

Added an error code for missing ue4game binaries when packaging a non code project.
Added a check in main frame actions to determine whether we display a dialog with the error message in it.

The crash reporter used to get packaged (via the editor) for all projects.
This change makes it only get packaged for blueprint or internal projects. External code-based projects won't have the crash reporter packaged, and it can also be excluded on a per-project basis via the IncludeCrashReporter project packaging setting.
