Enable a project file generator to set ShouldGenerateIntelliSenseData()=true to get module dependency information, but ShouldGenerateIntelliSenseCompileEnvironments()=false to skip generating compile environments for those modules (including writing Definitions.h files).

C# projects found in Engine/Platforms/PLATFORM/... will not be included in the generated solution if UBT has decided that PLATFORM is not supported.
Additionally, provides extra logging of which directories and projects have been excluded from the solution.

Per-project rules assembly csprojen.
Previously: all .build.cs and .target.cs were being grouped into a single project, which resulted in duplicate symbols when trying to build the project.
Now: multiple assemblies csprojs are generated, one for each Engine & Game project. Also, includes preprocessor defines.

Generate UnrealBuildFiles.csproj, a project that contains references to all of the Build.cs and Target.cs files in the solution, and add it to the generated solution.
With this project in the solution, Intellisense is available when editing these files, and the project may be compiled in Visual Studio, providing representative results of what UBT will do with the files (UBT will re-compile the files when it needs to)
Using Visual Studio 2019 16.9.6, adding this project increased memory usage by ~20MB after load (from 540MB to 560MB) for a workspace containing Engine, and two sample games.

RootDirectory, EngineDirectory, UnrealBuildToolPath are now found in BuildUtilities' UnrealBuild namesapce.
The way these are computed has changed. Previously, it was assumed that the application is UnrealBuildTool, and paths were constructed relative to that assembly.
Now, the assumption is that the process is located under a "Engine/Build/DotNET" sub-path and paths are constructed relative to that.
