This CL also updates the bounding box computation, previously the bounds were computed on LOD0 render data, ie after the nanite cut. Now the bounds of either the HiRes SourceModel, or high-res LOD0, are combined with the final LOD0 bounds.

[CL 15485742 by ryan schmidt in ue5-main branch]
Common mistakes:
a) TRACE_CPUPROFILER_EVENT_SCOPE("Foo") or TRACE_CPUPROFILER_EVENT_SCOPE("FClass::Foo")
--> results in a timer named "Foo" or "FClass::Foo" (the quotes will be included in the name)
b) TRACE_CPUPROFILER_EVENT_SCOPE(TEXT("Foo"))
--> results in a timer named L"Foo" (L and quotes will be included in the name)
c) TRACE_CPUPROFILER_EVENT_SCOPE_TEXT(TEXT("Other Foo")) or TRACE_CPUPROFILER_EVENT_SCOPE_TEXT("Foo")
--> Slow! It will use dynamic string matching that adds an unnecessary overhead.
Correct usage:
TRACE_CPUPROFILER_EVENT_SCOPE(Foo)
TRACE_CPUPROFILER_EVENT_SCOPE(FClass::Foo)
TRACE_CPUPROFILER_EVENT_SCOPE_STR("Other Foo") // when timer name has spaces
TRACE_CPUPROFILER_EVENT_SCOPE_TEXT(*Foo.ToString()) // only if a dynamic name is really needed

This is later used to build static mesh derived data in cases where Nanite coarse mesh representation replaces original static mesh data and we can't depend on it. In extreme cases it lowers main thread derived data build time from ~7.5s to ~0.1s.

Fixed tangents not being derived resulting in no welding for mip0 of Nanite
Ignore bHasColor from mesh desc and check if any non-white.
Misc clean up

Prepared direct attribute access for deprecation, preferring use of APIs to access static mesh attributes.
Fixed recently merged Enterprise code to comply with new APIs.
Changed all tools to use triangle-centric iteration where possible.
Added new MeshAttributeArray APIs for querying attribute flags, and added a new Mandatory flag.
Various bug fixes.

- Removed hardcoded element type arrays (Vertices, Edges, Triangles etc.). Mesh element types can now be arbitrarily added, with any number of channels.
- Mesh element containers have a much leaner format; instead of sparse arrays, they are now represented by a simple bitarray, determining whether an index is used or not. Consequently, mesh topology is now entirely described with the attribute system, e.g. edge start and end vertices, triangle vertices, etc.
- Support added for attributes of arbitrary dimensions, e.g. float[4] or int[2].
- Support added for attributes which index into another mesh element container.
- Added FMeshElementIndexer: this is an efficient container for maintaining backward references from one element type to another; for example, edges have an attribute specifying which vertices are at each end (an attribute of type FVertexID[2]). With an indexer, it is possible to look up which edges contain a given vertex, even though this is not explicitly stored. Indexers are designed to do minimal allocations and update lazily and in batch when necessary.
- Added support for preserving UV topology in static meshes. UVs are now a first-class element type which may be indexed directly from triangles.
- Added the facility to access the underlying array in an attribute array directly.
- Triangles now directly reference their vertex, edge and UV IDs. Vertex instances are to be deprecated.
- Changed various systems to be triangle-centric rather than polygon-centric, as this is faster. Triangles are presumed to be the elementary face type in a MeshDescription, even if polygons are still supported. The concept of polygons will be somewhat shifted to mean a group of triangles which should be treated collectively for editing purposes.
- Optimised normal/tangent generation and FBX import.
- Deprecated EditableMesh, MeshEditor and StaticMeshEditorExtension plugins - these are to be removed, but they still have certain hooks in place which need removing.

Clear MeshDescriptions sooner to reduce memory usage on datasmith import
- 37.92 GB -> 26.70 GB Peak Working Set when importing DATASET-0008a
- 66.04 GB -> 52.33 GB Peak Working Set when importing DATASET-0022a
