Refactored tick record sync into utility structure - FAnimSync. This improves the odd API around tick records, better encapsulating functionality and leaving less for the caller to get wrong. This will also eventually allow this to be refactored out into a scriptable pipeline stage.
Added sync node and scoped sync message for new 'graph based sync'. Nodes that subscribe to graph-based-sync determine their sync group based on the scope that they are in.
Removed 4.26-style sync scopes - pushed all syncing up to the main anim instance. Linked anim instances no longer sync their own tick records.
To make graph based sync more useful, surfaced graph attributes and their visualizations as labels on pins and parallel wires to visualize flow.
This involves statically determining the attribute flow of the graph at compile time. Added a new compiler handler to deal with this new debug data.
Updated a lot of nodes to specify their attributes so graph flow can be correctly visualized.
Added tracing of attributes and sync records and visualization of traced records when debugging the anim graph.

This takes the idea behind Braeden's node tracker/ancestor system and makes it a bit more generic, removing the bits of the API that were bound to FAnimNode_Base and allowing easier cross-plugin message dependencies.
The idea is that at any scope in the graph update you can add a TScopedGraphMessage with a specified payload (which can just be a node, but can also have state of its own), then further towards the leaves, that message can be detected and acted upon.
This changelist includes a re-working of the inter-node communication around inertial blending and cached poses as examples.

Fixed issue with sync group collisions when syncing with 'component' scope
This change moves sync group management to use a name->group map instead of indices. Staying with indices cannot work across multiple instances as they are simply allocated at the point the single anim BP is compiled, so can easily collide in anything other than simple configurations.
Deprecated all index based access to sync groups in the runtime. Sync groups can still be enumerated on the generated class.
#jira UE-101030 - Sync groups with non-local scope can collide, causing incorrect behaviour

+ Added SetSequenceLength
+ Moved GetPlayLength virtaul from AnimSequenceBase to AnimationAsset and deprecated GetMaxCurrentTime (only used in a single place)
