TTP# 337511 - ANALYTICS: Store Epic Account ID and Machine Unique GUIDs on Users Machine. Send with Every Event.

This works differently to what the TTP originally asked for, but I've checked with MaxP/MattK/WesH and we're okay with the way this works, as it avoids an annoyingly tight dependency between the analytics and the editor.

On the request of MattK, I also changed FPlatformMisc::GetRegistryString to be FPlatformMisc::GetStoredValue and added a corresponding FPlatformMisc::SetStoredValue. These will store generic key->value pairs using a platform specific store (the registry on Windows, and an INI file on other platforms).

DesktopPlatform uses these to provide access to the Machine ID and Epic Account ID (the Epic Account ID is set when the user logs into the Launcher).

The Editor sends an "Editor.ProgramStarted" event containing this data. This can then be tied to the current analytics session via the analytics session ID.

Tested on Windows and OS X.
