Ben Marsh 8ffc82bbd0 Add concept of an 'API version' for modules, which is used for determining compatibility of DLLs. By default, the API version is the current changelist number, but can be set to previous changelists when making hotfixes. The API version number is stored in a special resource section for DLLs on Windows, and in the current-version field for dylibs on Mac. ...

In contrast to the previous system, this does not require special-casing for Rocket builds and will work correctly for nightlies and other out-of-band releases. It also removes the requirement for games to adhere to a strict format of version string on Windows for the editor to be able to load them, since the new data is injected indepdendently of the default resource by UBT.
