It's needed on some platforms that don't handle DLLs dependencies out of the box. Generation of this file is integrated into the build metadata generation but is only triggered for platforms that explicitly indicate that it's needed (UEBuildPlatform.RequiresLoadOrderManifest()).

This may not work with UE code, since the engine assumes the executable is in a certain location to figure out where other known folders are in relation to it, but is useful for programs that do not link against the engine.

- test-specific targets and modules are constructed by RulesAssembly which removes a lot of spaghetti code
- no more excluding the Tests folder by default which is guaranteed to mislead users #fyi Jon.Nabozny
- test compilation in Tests is controlled through WITH_LOW_LEVEL_TESTS
- preparation code for switching tests between Catch2 / TestAutomation Fmwk

- When a file list is specified, any headers identified via a scan are added to a separate list of files to be compiled. These are always considered optional; since we don't know for sure whether they're part of the target, they are excluded from checks that require a matching binary to be identified for them.
- The -IgnoreInvalidFiles argument doesn't seem to have been working as intended, since the BuildBinaries will already contain all binaries for the target despite claims made in a comment (so bBuildShouldContinue will default to, and remain set to, false).
- While we could fix the logic to filter the binaries built for single-file compiles, it seems simpler to keep the same codepath as regular builds.

When files are specified via -File= -SingleFile= or -FileList=, any file not valid for the target will be ignored.
If no individual files are found for the target, nothing will be built.
