Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The Asset Compiler does incremental builds. Sometimes it would be nice to force a full recompilation, e.g. before uploading a release of the game. To do this, asset cache needs to be cleared.
Describe the solution you'd like
There should be a button (in the menu) in the Game Studio that would clear asset cache for the solution.
Describe alternatives you've considered
This functionality is provided in the VS plugin, but it's often easier to think Code - VS and Assets - Game Studio.
Plus, the VS plugin was a bit unstable lately, so I don't have it installed.

Research direction
Start with the Game Studio menu and the Asset Compiler's cache handling, then compare the existing clear-cache functionality in the VS plugin. Trace how a solution's asset cache is selected and cleared. Done means Game Studio exposes a menu button that clears the solution asset cache and allows a full recompilation.
