Install failes due to a wrong branch name. The Branch is not 4.27-release. Its only 4.27

The issue with me including the
Commit.gitdeps.xmlalsongside the PKGBUILD manually is that it might be subject to a legal grey area since the UE repo is private and is technically a part of the source;because the repo is private, having the PKGBUILD access it directly isn't a simple task because Github requires the URL request to have a generated timed authentication token that expires.
Meaning that I can't simply grab the URL and paste it into the PKBUILD willy-nilly because it is both not tied to your account and because the links have an expiration attached. I get why Epic chose this approach but their flawed "open-source" methodology is what makes this difficult.

I updated it to not use the Arch Clang compiler by default; I thought I had this opt-out but I didn't - the reason being that for UE4, there's actually a hard-coded reference to look for a Windows compiler (thanks Epic...) and using the Arch compiler has been the solution on the AUR for UE4 for a long time
That said, if it fails to compile by default now (at least if strictly using
makepkg), the fault is entirely on Epic for not properly having the Unreal Build Tool (UBT) not handle the Linux build properly - proper support for this was implemented in UE5, so they should honestly backport that to UE4's codebaseI left a user toggle-able switch in the PKGBUILD if anyone wants to try the Arch Clang compiler patch again, for whatever reason
If anyone manages to figure out how to this otherwise, let me know and I'll add the fix
