[CL 31040038 by bob tellez in 5.4 branch]
Added a new anim node: AnimNext Parameters. This injects parameters into the AnimNext stack for all leafwards nodes.
Added a new way of binding to parameters on anim nodes.
- Added indirection to UAnimGraphNode_Base to allow different 'binding types' to be authored by deriving from UAnimGraphNodeBinding
- Added new binding type for AnimNext parameters
- Moved existing binding code (inc UI widget creation) into UAnimGraphNodeBinding_Base
- Binding types can be selected on a per-node or per-anim BP basis
Reworked FParamStack API a little
- Allow for better error checking when pushing/popping stack layers. Pushed layers can now only be subsequently popped by passing in the handle of the pushed layer.
- Standalone layers are now wrapped in an opaque handle rather than returning a unique ptr
- GetParamData APIs now perform more involved type checking, allowing derived object types & type conversions to be implemented
Improved parameter type sandboxing for automated tests. If running low-level type tests while execution was happening on another thread, the editor could crash because of invalidating already-existing types.
Lots of other small fixes to get workflows nicer and end-to-end functionality working

Runtime notes:
- Removes 'smart name' usage across the animation systems.
- Changed curve blending from a uniform array (sized per skeleton) to a sparse array of sorted named values. Blends and other combiners are performed using a dual iteration 'tape merge'.
- Skeleton curves are no longer guaranteed to cover all curve names that can be found at runtime.
Editor notes:
- Curve metadata (flags, bone links etc.) is still present on the skeleton, but can also now exist on a skeletal mesh
- Curve metadata (for morph targets) is still populated on import
- Curves can now be used arbitrarily at runtime
New features:
- New Find/Replace dialog that allows for batch-replacing curves and notifies across all of a project's assets
- New curve debugger tab in various Persona editors that allows for viewing curve values live. This also now allows viewing curves for specific pose watches.
- Pose watches now output curve tracks to the Rewind Debugger

Pin default value is now generated using FBlueprintEditorUtils::PropertyValueToString, which generates a valid default string for anim graph pin editors

[CL 20755422 by jaime cifuentes in ue5-main branch]
Setters and getters are native functions called by FProperties when setting property values with *_InContainer functions.
Setters and getter function names can be manually specified with Setter = Func and Getter = Func keywords inside of UPROEPRTY macro but they will also be automatically parsed if the name is not explicitly specified if the setter or getter function name matches SetPropertyName and GetPropertyName pattern.
The latter behavior can be disabled in UHT's DefaultEngine.ini by setting AutomaticSettersAndGetters=False.
ImportText and ExportTextItem functions have been deprecated and should be replaced with *_InContainer or *_Direct variants.
