UETOOL-332 - Collections 2.0
UETOOL-401 - Add support for dynamic collections
You can now reference both static and dynamic collections in the Content Browser text filter, including recursive references (the evaluator guards against cyclic collection references).
The text filter now recursively gathers up any dynamic collection references when the filter text is changed. These are then tested depth first as sub-expressions against each object, to see whether the object is "contained" within the given dynamic collection.

UETOOL-401 - Add support for dynamic collections
These collections can be created from a text search in the Content Browser, and allow you to store a search query so it can be reused or shared.
They have some limitations compared to static collections:
- As they never know what objects they actually contain, they can't be displayed in the "Collections" list in asset tooltips.
- They cannot contain child collections.

UE-17782 - Editor must be restarted for New Collections to appear after syncing
These use FFileCache to avoid detecting changes that are made by the collection manager itself.
This also fixes some issues when merging collection sets together, and fixes some places where UI wouldn't update when a collection was changed due to an update or merge.

This shows a little colored pip to the right of the collection items, where each color means:
Grey - Up-to-date and empty
Green - Up-to-date and not empty
Blue - Has local changes
Orange - Not at the latest revision
Red - Checked out by another user, in a conflicted state, or missing its source control provider
This also adds an "Update" and "Save" option to the collections context menu. Typically these won't be needed as collections mostly manage themselves, but since we now show when a collection is out-of-date or dirty, it makes sense to allow the user to take action to correct these states without having to leave the editor.

UETOOL-332 - Collections 2.0
UETOOL-373 - Check robustness of Collections 2.0
The collection manager will now fix-up any references to redirectors within its collections once the asset registry has finished discovering all the available assets. It also adds a watcher so it can pick up any moves or deletes as they happen.
All of this fix-up is applied to the in-memory copy of the collection, and doesn't get persisted to disk until it needs to be (because referenced redirectors are being deleted). This helps to minimize issues with source control availability and shared/private collections.
This change also makes sure that objects that are being referenced by a collection will leave a redirector behind, and also adds some extra context (such as the collection name) to some of the source control errors that may be reported when saving a collection.

UETOOL-332 - Collections 2.0
UETOOL-369 - Want nested collections with collapsing
We now have version 2 collections which maintain a persistent GUID for each collection. Existing collections will be lazily updated to this version when they need to be re-saved.
This GUID is used by child collections to keep track their parents, and the collections view (as well as the quick asset management) now show a tree of collections. Collections in the main collection view tree can be re-parented via drag and drop.
Performing Content Browser searches against a given collection will also test to see if an object exists in child collections, and the asset view will now show you folder entries for child collections when viewing a parent (if folders are enabled in your Content Browser view settings).

UE-17109 - Collections cannot be created when using SVN as your SCC provider
The collection was trying to add itself to source control before the file had been created. Perforce allows this, but SVN and Git do not.
Additionally, SVN was trying to recursively commit any added parent folders when committing a file within those folders (required to avoid the commit operation failing), however that was failing to get the current SVN status of anything but the most immediate parent folder, causing the recusive check to fail.

UETOOL-332 - Collections 2.0
Removed some duplicated data from FCollection (AssetList and AssetSet) as they had to be manually kept in sync. Only AssetSet exists now, and is converted into an array and sorted before being written to disk (to keep the order consistent for diffing). DiskAssetList has also been converted into a set (now DiskAssetSet) as this is only ever used for lookup queries.
All manually memory management has been removed from FCollectionManager, and the array of maps to collections has been converted into a single map using FCollectionNameType as its key. This simplifies collection lookup code in most cases, and removes the need to manually track the total number of collections outside of the map (NumCollections has now been removed).
Renamed ICollectionManager::GetCollectionsContainingAsset to ICollectionManager::GetCollectionsContainingObject as the function checks for any objects, not just assets.
Renamed FCollection::IsAssetInCollection to FCollection::IsObjectInCollection as the function checks for any objects, not just assets.
Made ICollectionManager::IsCollectionEmpty const.
Replaced all appropriate loop usage with range-based-for, and replaced any NULL with nullptr.
