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.

We now always load by identity and hint to our assembly resolver were to expect to find assemblies that are not in our Engine.

Changed so that automation projects are loaded from their file path (LoadFrom rules) in net core as this is in practise what happened in net fw. Fixes issue were UAT projects not under Engine/Binaries couldnt be loaded.

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

* UAT will now read each *.Automation.csproj file to determine the output path, and load from there rather than just loading anything under Engine\Binaries\AutomationScripts.
* When compiling *.Automation.csproj files, UAT will set the $(EngineDir) directory to the current engine directory, allowing the project to resolve assembly references to the correct location.
* When generating project files, UBT will create an *.Automation.csproj.props file next to the project containing the path to the engine directory, allowing the assembly to be compiled correctly from Visual Studio.

- Use msbuild where possible for building UAT by checking for mono5
- Hash state of UAT scritps post-compile to skip redundant rebuilds

Enabled parallel msbuild for Mac
Added HashCollection class that can hold and serialize a collection of content hashes
Added quick dependency checking to UAT build by hashing csproj, input and output files for all modules
Reduced some logging when not running with -verbose
