Due to the fact that UnrealPak doesn't load INIs, the cvar was always its default value. This, combined with the fact that shaders don't store what codec they are compressed with means that setting this cvar to anything other than default (oodle) causes a crash in UnrealPak as DecompressShader will try to decompress with Oodle independent of the actual codec. Rather than plumb this information down through ProjectParams, I felt it prudent to just always use Oodle.
Additionally, in order to facilitate faster iteration times for development build farm jobs, the shader compression level used during UnrealPak will inherit from the overall package compression level set via Project Settings (PackageCompressionLevel_*).
This tacitly avoids patch issues as the default shader compression level happens to be the default package compression level, except now it inherits any faster levels for iteration time.
Note that we still use Mermaid as the codec as it's faster for decompressing than Kraken, which we care about for shaders.

- Creates the UnrealArchitectures class, which wraps a list of UnrealArch objects
- UnrealArch is a single architecture, expandable enum-like struct
- There is no more concept of "no/default architecture", there is always a valid active architecture when building
- Most uses of "string Architecture" are replaced with one of the two above, depending if multiple architectures are supported or not
- UnrealArch has some platform-extensions for platform-specific naming (like Linux adds in LinuxName that turns, for instance, Arm64 -> aarch64-unknown-linux-gnueabi, which is used in folder names, etc)
- UnrealArch has bIsX64 which can be used determine intel instruction set (as opposed to arm)
- TargetRules class has an "Architecture" accessor that will return a single architecture if the active architectures is a single architecture, or throw an exception if multiple. This is useful in a majority of the cases where a paltform can only have a single architecture active in TargetRules (microsoft platforms, for instance, will create separate targets when compiling multiple architectures at once)
- Added UnrealArchitectureConfig class, which contains all the architecture information for a platform (what architectures are supported, what ones are currently active for given project, etc)

Fix bug where quick launching with cotf from a debug editor failed to launch the cook server due to a missing or old development editor executable.
Since the default executable is the the console -cmd.exe one, implement ShellExecute to open a separate shell for the server output, also fixes duplicated stdout lines in that window.
Improve BuildCookRun log messages for booting and shutting down server and client.

#UE Pak performance. Save IoStore response files in the Engine saved folder instead of the Logs folder so they are not considered logs for build systems that look for and process logs.

- Added a Reopen command to P4Utils.cs
- Refactored Edit and Reopen (that take file list) into a BatchCommand function to split up huge file lists across multiple commands to respect a max commandline length
- Increased max comandline length from 1024 to the ProcessStartInfo max of 32699

- Added UAT params to pass architecture by target type (-editorarchitecture, -clientarchitecture, -serverarchitecture, -programarchitecture). Keeping -specifiedarchitecture for compat, and it will set all the other 4 if they are not specified
- Changed ProjectGenerator to find Program .uproject files (logic was looking for .Target files under the .uproject's directory, which is not the case for Programs)
- Added two params to GetProjectArchitectures:
- bGetAllSupported - used to get all supported architectures, not just the ones currently being built for (needed for XcodeProject to know what architectures to allow in the dropdown)
- bIsDistributionMode - used to get architectures to compile when making distribution builds (probably want to compile all architectures for distro's)
- Removed the MacExports.TargetsAlowedForAppleSilicon, updated XcodeProject code to use the new GetProjectArchitectures()
