- 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)

[CL 23829977 by josh adams in ue5-main branch]
* Added code to fixup definitions provided through .build.cs files. There are actually strict rules around the syntax of defines (reading msvc documentation). There should be no space before or after the '=' character. so "MY_DEFINE = 1" is actually invalid. When building with header units this actually produce invalid data but in normal builds it seems to swallow it (even though the documentation says it shouldn't)
I would have wanted to fix the code producing bad definition format but it is in a whole bunch of modules so I suspect external teams might have this too, so instead we fix it up by trimming the strings before and after '='

- Mac changes to compile separately, but link together (with lipo) after making two .dylibs/executables
- Removed FixDylibDependencies on Mac by making "stub dylibs" to mimic what Windows does with import libs, to solve circular dependencies
- Added DependenciesToSkipByArchitecture to ModuleRules that is used, when making a new single-arch LinkEnvironment from a multi-arch LinkEnvironment, to strip out libraries, etc, that should not be included with that single architecture

- 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

- Each module can now have a Tests folder at its root containing low level tests written with Catch2
- Used like this: UnrealBuildTool.exe -Mode=Test TargetName Platform Configuration
- It creates a test executable that's associated with the specified build Target and it includes all the tests for the Target AND all its dependencies as well
- When building without -Mode=Test it will omit the Tests folder contents from compilation: in theory we never allowed folders named Tests at the root of modules, but there might be isolated exceptions where we didn't validate folder names - in this case we will need to move that Tests folder one level up for example
- Code paths for test and non-test builds are entirely separated

Support "Internal" include directory that will only be added to a Referencing module if the referenced module has the same scope. Intent is to to "hide" APIs from external modules that do not need to include headers that are intended for internal module use only.
