Running generators as separate premake project step (#1441)

* Put the running of generators into a separate project, to try and sure the generated products are available for other dependencies when compiling with multiple threads on linux.

* Made paths Strings in slang-generate. Made paths use / for path separators (rather than \ on windows which causes some problems with #line).

* Make the run-generators proj a utility step.

* Made run-generators a StaticLib.

* Fix problem with generating when not necessary.

* Trying to get abspath to work on linux.

* Add run-generator-main.cpp dummy file.

* Add comment about the issues around linux and correct build triggering.

* Add updated projects.

* Remove the run-generators-main.cpp as no longer needed for 'run-generators' tool.
Removed the adding of files by default from baseSlangProject
Made the run generators project use slang-string.cpp as the file it builds from core.

* Add the run-generators VS project.
