Taking local copies of HashSize during iterations.

UEB-261 - Ensure that compiling AutomationTool in VS will compile all other Automation Projects
* Just set AutomationTool as your startup project and pass the command to execute.
* VS will build the script modules at build time, instead of every time at runtime.
* To make this happen, "UBT.exe -ProjectFiles" now generates a companion AutomationTool.csproj.References that make AutomationTool depend on all Automation modules.
* AutomationTool.exe defaults to not building script modules at runtime. Pass -compile if you want to dynamically build them.
* Without the .references file, AutomationTool will only build itself and you will need to pass -compile.
* RunUAT.bat still works that same, defaulting to runtime compilation and supporting -nocompile flag. It then passes -compile (or nothing) to AutomationTool.
Other
* All Automation projects target .Net 4.5. Some already were and had hard dependencies on them (Rocket and SyncGithub -> Octokit). Now that AutomationTool directly depends on them, everything had to use .Net 4.5.
* Decoupled logic for -NoCompile and -NoCompileEditor. The flags are still confusing, but -NoCompile is no longer linked to -NoCompileEditor.
* Had to leave in stub support in UAT for -NoCompile else RunUAT.bat passes it along and UAT complains that it doesn't understand it.
* Added a CommandUtils.Run option to support run command, but still output the run duration.
* Reduced the verbosity when UAT.proj is run from dozens of lines per module to a single Module -> Output line. It was looking like there were problems, but it was just msbuild spew.

Allow Engine Projects to be created in Rocket but only as stub projects to generate intellisense paths
Add all excluded binaries to list of Precompiled Binaries so that plugin paths are included when it comes to adding intellisense paths
[CL 2588511 by Matthew Griffin in Main branch]
Fixing up of existing code which used these facilities - this fixes the 'You are attempting to compile on a machine that does not have a supported compiler!' UAT error on machines with really long PATH variables, and exceptions in envvars with non-ASCII characters.

- Merged in Microsoft's Unreal Build Tool changes for VS 2015 support, and Universal App Platform support
- VS 2015 support is disabled by default (the engine is not yet compiling with VS 2015)
- Use the new '-2015' option when generating project files to enable VS 2015 support
- Windows SDK 8.1 is used by default. To use Windows SDK 10, enable WindowsPlatform.bUseWindowsSDK10
- UAP support is disabled (not supported yet, work in progress.) Use WinUAPPlatform.bEnableUAPSupport to enable it.
- Various loose ends still remain (search for "@todo UAP" in Unreal Build Tool code)
