Added functionality to strip at ratios higher 1 out of every 2. testing shows good savings at stripping 2/3 frames on NX64 and in editor of around 8mb with no noticeable visual degradation.
Works through the VariableFrameStripping object that is a member of the AnimSequence.
Fixed issue with valkyrie

Due to Backout files marked for add could not show latest revision forcing me to submit this change directly though p4v.

Origional Cvar ssytem replaced with VariableFrameStrippingSettings Oject which is a member of AnimSequence. It contains PerPlatform variables for enableing the system and its rate.
The move to a member object wrapping around these settings were two fold. First to better mas change anim sequences by platform while also allowing for varried settings for edge cases. Second becuase due to the fact this affects objects in the cook, gateing it behind a cvar provides no hot fix saftey while hurting useability.

Added functionality to strip at ratios higher 1 out of every 2. testing shows good savings at stripping 2/3 frames on switch and in editor of around 8mb with no noticeable visual degradation.
2 Cvars added "a.Compression.UseVaribleFrameStripping" & "a.Compression.VaribleFrameStrippingRatio" which enable and change the amount of variable stripping.
In addition added 3 variables to anim sequences bOverrideVariableFrameStripping, UseVariableFrameStripping& FrameStrippingRatio; which allow you to override any stripping options on a per asset basis. mainly for the purpose of the case that a particular animation is behaving badly under higher stripping you don’t have to lower the whole platforms stripping to accommodate.

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

[CL 23599277 by Jurre deBaare in ue5-main branch]
- Added new compression and 'compiling' API/path
* Relies on newer DDC API
* Only fetches compressible data when data is not found in DDC
* Fetching data happens off the GT now (including Additive animation)
- Deprecated and replace AnimSequence API around compression
** AnimStreamable still relies on old, synchronous, compression path **
IAnimationDataModel
- Removed bone track data being stored as FBoneAnimationTrack
- Bone animation can now only be referenced by Name (not track index anymore)
- Deprecated any API relying on FBoneAnimationTrack
- Added API to retrieve FTransform(s) for given frame(s) with provided bone name
- Added API to lock model against modifications during evaluation (required for non-racing off-GT evaluation)
Animation Sequence
- Frame-rate is now stored on a per-platform basis, allowing for future replacement of frame-stripping (editing property is disabled for now)
- Now allows for storing _transient_ per-platform compressed animation data (required for multi-platform cook)
PerPlatformProperties
- Added per-platform FFrameRate implementation
