- Each module can now have a Tests folder at its root containing low level tests written with Catch2
- Used like this: UnrealBuildTool.exe -Mode=Test TargetName Platform Configuration
- It creates a test executable that's associated with the specified build Target and it includes all the tests for the Target AND all its dependencies as well
- When building without -Mode=Test it will omit the Tests folder contents from compilation: in theory we never allowed folders named Tests at the root of modules, but there might be isolated exceptions where we didn't validate folder names - in this case we will need to move that Tests folder one level up for example
- Code paths for test and non-test builds are entirely separated

Perform dependency calculation in parallel, and overlap with array sorting. Reduces function runtime on my machine by 0.5 seconds for UnrealEditor target.

Support "Internal" include directory that will only be added to a Referencing module if the referenced module has the same scope. Intent is to to "hide" APIs from external modules that do not need to include headers that are intended for internal module use only.

RootDirectory, EngineDirectory, UnrealBuildToolPath are now found in BuildUtilities' UnrealBuild namesapce.
The way these are computed has changed. Previously, it was assumed that the application is UnrealBuildTool, and paths were constructed relative to that assembly.
Now, the assumption is that the process is located under a "Engine/Build/DotNET" sub-path and paths are constructed relative to that.

Requires Visual Studio 2019 15.8 Preview 3, and targets to specify bEnableCppModules = true. Unsupported on other compilers.
Notes:
- Module interfaces need to be placed in .IXX files.
- Module/module dependencies are determined by a post-makefile/pre-build scan of all module interfaces using the compiler, and cause additional prerequisites to be inserted into the dependency graph before execution.
- Available module IFC search paths use normal UE module dependency rules.
- Header units are not currently supported.
- Regular C++ files cannot currently implement functions defined in module interfaces, due to the macros force included by UBT. These macros need to be placed in the global module fragment, but declaring a global module fragment must be done from the translation unit being compiled (making force-included headers invalid).
