Added a CreateNewActor function to EditorModelingObjectsCreationAPI which finds a factory capable of producing actors of the same type as a provided template actor to create the new actor without needing to create entirely new assets as would have been necessary with the existing functions in EditorModelingObjectsCreationAPI.

also, when creating a static mesh with lightmap enabled via modeling components, also set the lightmap channel and resolution to match the build settings values, to better match the importer results

ModelingTools - MeshAttributePaintTool and SkinWeightsPaintTool. Use non-maniforld vertex ids when provided. fixes a crash
SplitMeshesTool - removed an unsed mesh conversion.
ModelingComponents - ModelingToolTargetUtil - request non-manifold vertex Ids on dynamic meshes when converted for tools.
DynamicMeshViaMeshDescription - request non-manifold vertex Ids on dynamic meshes when converted for tools.
ModelingObjectCreation - make sure to strip the any src vertex IDs from a dynamic mesh during object creation.

MeshConversions - MeshDescriptionToDynamicMesh - Add ability to capture non-manifold source veretx IDs in the form of a vertex attribute.
