Also provides a new CVar, modeling.DisableAutoUVAreaDensitySampling, which when set, returns the behavior to the original algorithm, in case there are legacy reasons to maintain that behavior.

Use this algorithm in the polygroups generator tool, so we get more useful groups on smooth surfaces (like a cylinder)
Also add a helper to the FSizedDisjointSet class to easily get the number of groups in the set and a mapping between compact group indices and sparse group IDs

Base class is changed to USingleTargetWithSelectionTool.
When selection is provided, a UPreviewMesh for the unselected area is created and used.
A FSharedConstDynamicMesh3 is used to wrap either the original mesh or the selected submesh, and passed to the Operator (which also now takes a FSharedConstDynamicMesh3)
On shutdown, modified submesh is re-integrated into original mesh (in this case a trivial group copy suffices) and a new selection is emitted

ModelingTools: add support for writing to selected group layer, as well as new group layer, in ConvertToPolygonsTool (GrpGen in UI). Also add support for setting groups from existing layer, which (combined) allows copying groups between layers, duplicating existing layer, and so on.

- add FPolygroupLayer struct which is basically an identifier for a Polygroup layer, ie either the default mesh layer or one of the extended attribute layers
- add FPolygroupsGenerator::FindPolygroupsFromHardNormalSeams()
- add option to FPolygroupsGenerator::FindPolygroupsFromFurthestPointSampling() to constrain generation relative to an input polygroup set, ie only subdivide existing polygroups
- FMeshRegionGraph::BuildFromComponents now takes optional are-triangles-connected predicate, to allow links in graph to be disabled
- FPatchBasedMeshUVGenerator can now optionally generate new UV islands relative to an input Polygoup set, via new GroupConstraint input
