Implement function BP rename handling on a per-node basis, similar to existing variable rename handing
Move to using FBlueprintEditorUtils::GetMostUpToDateClass for property access in-editor. This ensures that any local renames are picked up prior to recompilation.

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

Additional changes:
- Added warnings for users using anim state events since we want to push towards using the state node functions.
- Added support for anim nodes to show any bound functions and not have them hardcoded.
- Added base context type for FAnimExecutionContext.
- Now users can specify the string for the default binding name of a function member reference in a BP by using the "DefaultBindingName" metadata tag. This will give the functionality to avoid having the default binding name be "NewFunction" and instead use the input string from the metadata tag.

- Pose watches can now contain elements which represent different asspects of an anim nodes debug draw (i.e. bodies and constraints in RBAN)
- Elements can be used to enable anim node debug draw even when a node is not selected, acting in the same way as the previous pose watches
- The previous Pose watch behavior is now provided by an element within a pose watch
- RBAN nodes now make use of Pose Watch Elements
- Moved skeleton draw parameter UPROPERTIES from PoseWatch to specialised PoseWatchPoseElement class

- Removed cached USkeletalMeshComponent* from AnimGraphNode as we can now get it from AnimGraphNode_Base
- Add a templatized version of AnimGraphNode_Base::GetDebuggedAnimNode() that allows retrival of derived node types
- Can now calculate chain bones without waiting for the node to be compiled - removed associated warning from UI
- Prevent Copy+Paste of bone names in chain bone array, improving workflow
- Ensure that changing bound bone name does not reset physics body parameters, improving workflow
- Improve chain body UI

Added the abiity to tag and retrieve any anim graph node (similar to how we could reference linked anim graph nodes previously).
Ported linked anim graph nodes to use the new system
Added the ability to reference any anim graph node by tag (via a new custom node, spawnable from the context menu, with the appearance of an actor reference in a level blueprint)
Added tag display and editing in the bottom-right of anim graph nodes
Added new override point to SGraphNodeK2Var to allow for title widget parameters to be overriden by child classes

Split 'node context' into an 'evaluation context' and a 'node reference' type and updated regular function signatures when creating node functions. This way we can seperate concerns (and potentially reference anim nodes standalone in the future).
Moved function caller code into function ref file to stop AnimNodeBase bloat.
Fixed functions not being called on root nodes.

Adds 'template' anim BP concept. These anim BPs have no TargetSkeleton and as such cannot have direct references to animations placed inside of their anim graphs
Adds function call support from anim nodes. All anim graph nodes can now call functions when initialized, updated, evaluated or when they first become relevant.
Relevancy is established using a new FAnimSubsystemInstance_NodeRelevancy which tracks nodes in a local map, per UAnimInstance, if nodes require it.
Functions are displayed on the node if bound, and in the details panel.
Added a new override point to FAnimSubsystemInstance to allow for WT init.
Moved FMemberReference customization into a public header so it can be used on anim node functions.
Wrapped functions up into FAnimNodeFunctionRef structure so they can be re-used more effectively. Converted CallFunction node to use them.
Added a couple of simple BP function libraries to demonstrate the use of the new FAnimNodeContext (this is intended to be a generic way of exposing FAnimNode_Base types to script without the node types themselves having to be known to script directly).
Added the ability to set exposed properties as 'always dynamic' so they appear in mutable data rather than being merged into constants. This allows for the anim node data API to be changed to be less strict (and more script friendly). Now values can be set in mutable data (via GET_MUTABLE_ANIM_NODE_DATA_PTR) and attempted sets to constant data can be ignored and reported to client code.
A few minor crash fixes with edge cases (inc when trying to open an asset editor fails because of a missing skeleton/cancellation).
Also fixes an issue where literal linked anim graph/control rig/custom poroperty node inputs didnt get copied
