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.

Added a NET_CORE define to allow us to have changes side by side.
The AWS S3 changes are required due to us requiring to upgrade the S3 assembly version to get net core support (which made all methods async).
The ACL checks for files are not available in the system libraries of net core, as such the api is a bit different.
AutomationToolLauncher now just spawns a subprocess when used in netcore, as netcore does not support custom AppDomains and shadow copying. We will generally need to revisit this for netcore as this whole feature of building the source for UAT in UAT is not really possible.
To enable this set environment variable "UE_USE_DOTNET=1", note that with netcore all applications change their output path so this will likely break a bit of tooling when enabled.

- Formalizing all TargetPlatforms to have a Client version, rename WindowsNoEditor to Windows, and removing DDPI specification of TargetPlatforms, and generate them programmatically
- Updated names DeviceProfiles and Build scripts, as above
- Some PlatformInfo class cleanup
- Added a TNonDesktopTargetPlatformBase class to make most TargetPlatforms simpler
- Added "No Compiled Support" to the Turnkey LaunchOn menu when the TargetPlatforms aren't compiled in (to show that even if you install an SDK, you will need to compile before you can LaunchOn)\
- Starting the transition away from PlatformInfo::FPlatformInfo to FDDPI

CompatibleChangelist number was being overridden as part of the build process due to CL 9823639. The desired effect here was to ensure that Epic's compatible changelist number was cleared out for licensee builds; instead of just forcing it to be set, we clear it out if we're changing the licensee flag.
