[UE-14234] UMG widgets with overriding appearance properties always clobber the Style
#change Deprecated appearance properties on UWidgets that override the Style
#change Incremented the engine object version number and fixed up deprecated properties in OnLoad
#change Added sync'ing of Style properties in the UMG editor where missing. UMG wysiwyg needs to update in response to styling changes. Required adding of some SetStyle code to SWidgets here and there.

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.
