Some behavior changes:
Output paths - Both tools are now output to a subdirectory of Binaries/Dotnet, I believe most hardcoded paths have been fixed up but there may be tools that will fail because of this.
UAT Plugin Building - As .NET Core does not support AppDomain unloading, how we build the plugins has changed quite a bit, these are now built before UAT is started rather then by UAT itself. If you just start UAT via RunUAT.bat/sh this should just continue to work.

Also removed usages of automationtool launcher in netcore as we no longer need it.

Mostly a find/replace, though I have looked through the changes and attempted to update references to other things as necessary (eg. renaming IOS plist files for IOS). I'm not set up to test on any platforms other than windows, and was hoping to get your blessing to submit and give QA enough time as possible to uncover issues before the next milestone release.
Particular things that I know I'm not sure about:
- Android references /UE4Game/ paths everywhere (for paths on device, I think). I have no idea if I've got them all.
- I've renamed the iOS mobileprovisions, but I don't know if they need regenerating for the new app name.
- Likewise, not sure what needs to be updated for icon bundles on iOS.
Things that have not been changed:
- Windows still uses IDI_UE4ICON for its icon
- UE4CommandLine.txt
- There's still a UE4Game module which is used by content-only projects

Additionally allow monolithic programs inside platform extensions to ouput to the Binaries directory in the extension.

Also rework logic for determining whether a project needs to be compiled, to more closely match equivalent code in UAT. ITargetPlatform::NeedsTempTarget() now allows querying whether a project needs a temporary target to be generated.

Project arg is now optional and will simply sync the engine.
Passing -CL=0 will now require the -force argument before syncing files out of the workspace.
Fixed issue with deep samples (e.g AREnvProbe) not being discovered by FindProjectFileFromName
Added NativeProjects.ClearCache option for the case when syncing a project from P4 that isn't yet on disk
Fixed issue with P4.FileExistsInDepot returning true if passed a path that isn't in the users client view. Relates to UE-78832 but not the entire fix
Fixed issue with BuildEditor not working without a project arg.
Fixed issue building projects that don't have source
