Deprecated the FSoftObjectPath "StaticMesh" property in FGeometryCollectionAutoInstanceMesh and replaced it with a TObjectPtr<UStaticMesh> Mesh property. This fixes an issue where asserts would fire because we were doing sync loads after the loadscreen.
These changes saved roughly 100MBs in our test level.

- add explicit tracking of internal surfaces in fracture geometry, and remove concept of 'internal-only' materials in odd-numbered slots.
- add tooling to set internal materials, and to set default internal materials to be assigned on fracture
- add option to preserve internal face data via odd material numbers in ToMesh tool + option to re-import these ToMesh outputs w/ internal material IDs set

- Improved InitializeMaterials to be able to handle material list only made of external materials
- Added CollectionInstancedMeshFacade and update code using the attribute directly to use the facade instead
- Added new input / output to Geometry Collection Terminal node ( InstancedMeshes )
- Simplified FindOrAddAutoInstanceMesh methods

- Only call reindexMaterial once
- Make sure reindexMaterial skips validation when calling RemoveElements

Limitations : Currently this requires the GC to be reset to recompute the list of instanciable meshes and their corresponding indices
Mitigation : this can be turned off using the following cvar : p.Chaos.GC.UseISMPool

Made GeometryCollection::AppendSkeletalMesh more generic so it can take just a FManagedArrayCollection.
- Added a static version of FGeometryCollection::UpdateBoundingBox
- Added a static version of FGeometryCollection::ReindexMaterials
- Added Interface for standard attribute creation

- make material duplication for internal materials optional
- ask if user wants to split the mesh by connected component
+ implement the connected component split on the mesh description as part of the conversion, so we can do it before we've thrown out the mesh topology (geometry collection is a rendering rep that can't represent mesh topology; it splits at every UV seam and sharp edge)

- Moved AppendStaticMesh and AppendSkeletalMesh to the Engine level
- Moved the Node implementation into GeometryCollectionNodes within the plugin.
