Fixes for lots of existing modules by removing all dynamically loaded duplicates (this is probably not the correct solution, but is the safest).

- Added UEditorEngine::InvalidateAllViewportsAndHitProxies
- Removed manual Invalidate calls in the Blueprint and Font editors during Undo/Redo handling
- Removed a redundant InvalidateDisplay after an Invalidate call in the Font editor

I have gone through these changes and verified that whatever behavior change they cause could only be an improvement (generally they just prevent possible access to nullptrs, but there are also some style corrections). A separate changelist is being prepared that includes changes that could unintentionally caues behavior change for the worse.

These let you specify the purpose of the font family, rather than them all being called "Sub-Font Family #X".
[CL 2347377 by Jamie Dale in Main branch]
It now shows the fonts within a font family in a grid rather than a list. This uses less space, but presents the same information.
The preview text was removed in favor of making the preview viewport handle displaying a preview of all of the fonts that make up the composite font.

This allows the data to be compressed and lazy loaded, so the embedded font data is now only loaded when FreeType needs to load it into a face.
[CL 2344987 by Jamie Dale in Main branch]
Slate now has the concept of composite fonts and font families (via FCompositeFont and FTypeface). A composite font is a font that contains a default font family, as well as any number of sub-font families which should be used for a given set of character ranges. This change will greatly improve the localization support for fonts.
UFont assets can now use two forms of caching "offline" (which is the way they have always worked historically), and "runtime" (which utilizes the Slate font cache to cache glyphs on demand). These runtime cached UFont assets are now the only way to specify which font to use for a UMG widget, and address the previous issues about ensuring that the required font files were staged for your game.
The Slate font cache now works on FFontData instances, rather than filenames. This allows the UFont asset to embed a blob of TTF or OTF font data inside it, rather than require the fonts be loaded from files on disk.
The Canvas text renderer has been updated to support runtime cached UFont assets. This gives our legacy Canvas based tools the same improved font localization support as the rest of the Slate-based editor UI.
UFont asset creation has been changed to use runtime caching by default, and additionally, you can now import a TTF or OTF file via the Content Browser and it will automatically create a UFont asset. If you still want an offline cached UFont asset, you can just change the cache type in the font editor, and the usual font picker dialog will appear and allow you to generate a font texture atlas.

* Moved Slate.h into SlateBasics.h and began shifting less commonly used headers into SlateExtras.h.
* Slate.h now simply includes SlateBasics.h and SlateExtras.h.
* Slate.h includes a deprecated warning now to indicate that SlateBasics.h + specific includes should be used instead.
* Moved dozens of inlined functions using Slate widgets into .cpp files to avoid header dependencies.
* All code samples now include SlateBasics.h and SlateExtras.h so future shifts will not break most those projects, but not trigger the deprecation warning of including Slate.h.

- Window menu is now sectioned and labeled based on the current editor. There's now a local workspace root member in FTabManager and a workspace category in FAssetEditorToolkit (both are FWorkspaceItem objects). Individual editors attach their local category to the tab manager's local root. Workflow app modes have their own category members that are swapped out when the mode changes.
- Finally, the AssetEditorCategory of FWorkspaceMenuStructure has been removed entirely.
- Replaced the AddMenuSeparator() call in FTabManager::PopulateSpawnerMenu_Helper() with a section of the same title as the workspace category.
- Tab spawner menu entries for the local editor now properly show the icon of the associated tab. To accomplish this it was necessary to change FWorkflowTabFactory::TabIcon to be an FSlateIcon instead of an FSlateBrush*. All factory instances have been updated accordingly.
- Added & updated lots of icons! (those missing will be TTP'd)
- The nomad tab spawner section (named "General" in the menu) has been largely compressed into the Developer Tools submenu, which has also been organized into sections for readability.
- Unreal frontend options were also moved into a context menu within the General section
- Moved all experimental tools to their own section of the Window menu. When they're no longer experimental they should register as nomads in the appropriate category
- Undo history now under Edit menu
[CL 2324285 by Dan Hertzka in Main branch]
The AppFramework module is intended to be used for compound widgets and UI related classes that are too specific (not basic enough) for Slate, but also not Editor specific (reusable in non-Editor applications and games). The test suite has been moved in its entirety for now, but core widget specific test classes will eventually be split off and moved back into Slate, so that they can live alongside of their corresponding widgets.
Other changes:
- moved to "include what you use" scheme for SColorPicker
- broke out color picker related widgets that may be reusable
- added forward declarations to reduce header include dependencies

#ttp 340613 - FIXIF: EDITOR:ANALYTICS: Static Mesh Editor Instrumentation Pass
#branch UE4
#added Added analytics for various static mesh editor usage, making sure not to spam events when spinboxes are used and only report when the value actually changes.
#added Added analytics whenever an asset is reimported (if via an editor, the editor will then report that it was it that did the reimporting)
