UMeshElementsVisualizer::SetMeshAccessFunction() now takes a TFunction with a TFunctionRef argument, instead of with a FDynamicMesh3* argument. This allows the UMeshElementsVisualizer to access the target mesh via the ProcessMesh()-style call on a UPreviewMesh, UDynamicMesh, etc, rather than receiving direct pointer access. See UWeldMeshEdgesTool::Setup() for example usage.
Add UMeshOpPreviewWithBackgroundCompute::ProcessCurrentMesh(), which forwards to the embedded UPreviewMesh::ProcessMesh() (which can be used with the above)
Add UE::ToolTarget::GetMeshDescriptionCopy() to ModelingToolTargetUtil, similar to existing DynamicMesh variant that will auto-compute tangents if necessary.

- Add UE::ToolTarget::CommitMaterialSetUpdate() and ::CommitDynamicMeshUpdate(). ::GetDynamicMeshCopy() can now return tangents if requested.
- Add IMeshDescriptionProvider::CalculateAutoGeneratedAttributes(). Default implementation does nothing, UStaticMeshComponentToolTarget implementation initializes auto-generated MeshDescription attributes. Used in ::GetDynamicMeshCopy() to get tangents (but requires a MeshDescription copy).
- Clean up handling of Tangents in Simple/OctreeDynamicMeshComponent. Add local MakeTangentsFunc() to generate the Tangents lambda, handle different cases and no-tangents fallbacks consistently.
- UDynamicMesh: add optional info arguments to EditMesh() and ChangeInfo struct. Add support for deferring change events from Edit funcs.
- Remove UBaseDynamicMeshComponent::InitializeMesh(), ::Bake() APIs, and add ::SetMesh(). Implement in Simple/Octree implementations, update all Tools that used those APIs.
- Add USimpleDynamicMeshComponent::ProcessMesh(), EditMesh(). These are now the preferred ways to read/write mesh.
- Update USimpleDynamicMeshComponent tangents handling. Externally-computed tangents are now taken directly from the FDynamicMesh3 attribute set. Autogenerated tangents are still computed and stored in an internal FMeshTangentsf, but this is no longer exposed for external updates.
- Remove UPreviewMesh pass-through functions for Tangents access, InitializeMesh() and Bake(). Add ProcessMesh()
- Update all affected Tools. In most cases these Tools have also been converted to use ModelingToolTargetUtil functions, instead of direct ToolTarget interface casting.

- Removed UExistingMeshMaterialProperties::SetMaterialIfChanged, the logic was too convoluted now that we don't actually set new materials on the PreviewMesh. Now just forcing a material update whenever any material setting changes.
- UMeshOpPreviewWithBackgroundCompute now takes material set, added ::ConfigureMaterials() that takes array (previous API remains)
- UMeshOpPreviewWithBackgroundCompute now has additional OverrideMaterial, if set then this is forwarded to UPreviewMesh as override material
