Enabling the ScriptableToolsFramework plugin causes compile errors in shipping configurations

Enabling the ScriptableToolsFramework plugin causes compile errors in shipping configurations. This also applies to any plugins which depend on it, such as the ScriptableToolsEditorMode plugin.

This happens due to a non-redistributable module dependency that was added to the ScriptableToolsFramework.build.cs in 5.7. The non-redistributable dependency in question is ToolWidgets. This module lives in the Source/Developer directory, and is therefore non-redistributable.

The adding commit was CL 42965778. This commit added SDraggableBox to the ToolWidgets module and deprecated it in the Mesh Modeling Toolset plugin, where it previously lived. Since ScriptableToolsFramework is now dependent on ToolWidgets in order to use this new version of SDraggableBox, shipping builds with this plugin enabled no longer compile.

• Create a new C++ project using the First Person template
• Through the Plugins window, enable the ScriptableToolsFramework plugin
• Restart the editor
• Open the Project Launcher window
• Create a new launch profile and change the Configuration to Shipping
• Launch the profile
• Note that the build fails during the "Build game" step with the error "Non-editor build cannot depend on non-redistributable modules"
