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

UnrealBuildTool 'Makefiles' allow for very fast iterative builds.
- New BuildConfiguration.xml setting added: "bUseExperimentalFastBuildIteration" (disabled by default)
- Turning this on causes Unreal Build Tool to emit 'UBT Makefiles' for targets when they're built the first time.
- Subsequent builds will load these Makefiles and begin outdatedness checking and build invocation very quickly.
- The caveat is that if source files are added or removed to the project, UBT will need to gather information about those in order for your build to complete successfully.
- Currently, you must run the project file generator after adding/removing source files to tell UBT to re-gather this information.
- Events that can invalidate the 'UBT Makefile':
- Adding/removing .cpp files
- Adding/removing .h files with UObjects
- Adding new UObject types to a file that didn't previously have any
- Changing global build settings (most settings in this file qualify.)
- Changed code that affects how Unreal Header Tool works
- You can force regeneration of the 'UBT Makefile' by passing the '-Gather' argument, or simply regenerating project files
- New command-line parameters added:
- "-Gather": Tells UBT to always perform the gather step (slower but will catch project structural changes)
- "-NoGather": Disables the gather step, unless UBT detects that it must be done. This is the default when bUseExperimentalFastBuildIteration is enabled
- "-GatherOnly": Runs the gather step and saves a UBTMakefile, but doesn't build anything
- "-Assemble": Tells UBT to also assemble build products. This always defaults to enabled
- "-NoAssemble": Tells UBT to skip the assemble step, whether we gathered build products or not
- "-AssembleOnly": Tells UBT to only assemble build products and not to gather, unless UBT determines it must
Other changes:
- UBT now keeps track of which targets it was building in an intermediate file, to help it invalidate cached includes in subsequent runs when the targets are different
- C++ includes are now stored in a class separate from the C++ compile enviroment (for easier serialization)
- The method that UBT uses to find the CoreUObject module timestamp was rewritten
- Various '@todo ubtmake' comments added to tag possible remaining Makefile tasks
- The 'FileItem' class had some member variable comments and code cleaned up, while making it serializable
- Cleaned up the comments and member variables in the "Action" class, while making it serializable
- Some UBT classes are now "serializable". This is because we need to store the data in UBTMakefiles.
- Removed support for Actions to tinker with Stdout and Stderror (was not used for anything)
- Moved PrecompileHeaderEnvironment class to the UEBuildModule.cs source file
- Plugin intermediate include directories are now selected on demand rather than cached early
- Toolchain code for gathering prerequisite headers is now shared in a single function (AddPrerequisiteSourceFile)
- Removed Action.StatusDetailedDescription, was not used for anything
- Removed UEBuildConfiguration.bExcludePlugins, was not used for anything
- Removed ECompilationResult.FailedDueToHeaderChange, was not used for anything
