Jamie Dale 55c3728d11 Added support for showing game and engine classes in the Content Browser
UE-7184 - Show game c++ classes and engine c++ classes in the content browser

The Content Browser now has extra entries for "Game C++ Classes" and "Engine C++ Classes" (with "Game" and "Engine" being renamed to "Game Content" and "Engine Content" respectively). These new folders serve as hosts for the list of available C++ modules, with each module internally mirroring the folder structure on disk.

For example:
- Game C++ Classes
    - ShooterGame
        - Classes
            - Bots
                - ShooterBot
                - ShooterAIController
                - [...]
            - [...]

The Content Browser allows you to navigate and search these classes like you can with assets, and provides convenient access to either edit an existing class, or create a new class (either within a selected folder, or derived from a selected class).

As the Content Browser only shows you known UClass types, any new classes need to be compiled into a loaded module before they will appear. This means that adding a new class will now automatically hot-reload your target module. Should you prefer to handle building and loading your modules manually, you can disable the automatic hot-reload via "Editor Settings" -> "Miscellaneous" -> "Hot Reload" -> "Automatically Hot Reload New Classes" (see UEditorUserSettings::bAutomaticallyHotReloadNewClasses).
