-Added option to blend profile picker for blend mask creation.
-Fixed issue w/ Blend profile picker sometimes showing in non-standalone mode outside of skeleton editor.
-Fixed issue w/ reset to default w/ blend profiles.
-Added blend mask mode to layered blend per bone node

+ Pose feature vector API
+ FPoseSearchFeatureVectorLayout
- Explicit description of a pose feature vector (FV)
- Determined by options set in a UPoseSearchSchema and owned by the schema. See UPoseSearchSchema::GenerateLayout().
+ FPoseSearchFeatureDesc
- Describes each feature of a vector, including data type, sampling options, and buffer offset.
- New data types introduced (previously only positions were supported)
- Could potentially be extended in the future to support externally registered features, but that's not the goal for now.
+ FFeatureVectorBuilder
- Helper object for writing features into a float buffer according to the layout
- Keeps track of which features are present, allowing the FV to be constructed piecemeal
+ FFeatureVectorReader
- Helper object for extracting features. Presently only used for debug rendering.
+ UPoseSearchDatabase
- A data asset for indexing a collection of animation sequences
- Support added for searching the collection and returning the matching sequence with time offset
+ Pose matching refactoring
- Setup no longer requires an animation modifier or a special graph node
+ UPoseSearchSequenceMetaData
- Replaces UPoseSearchIndexConfig and UPoseSearchIndex
- Counterpart to UPoseSearchDatabase for a single animation instead of a collection
- Simply add to sequence metadata, fill it out, and save
+ IPoseSearchProvider
- Modular feature interface that replaces the need for AnimGraphNode_PoseMatchingSequencePlayer
- The PoseSearch plugin now registers itself as an implementer of IPoseSearchProvider
- AnimGraphNode_SequencePlayer now detects if a pose search provider exists and offers optional pose matching support
- Currently exposed as checkbox in an "experimental" section of the node's settings
+ Other cleanup/refactoring
+ Namespacing
- Pulled all non-UCLASS/USTRUCTs into a UE::PoseSearch namespace
- Renamed PoseSearchDetail namespace to UE::PoseSearch::Private per standards
+ UPoseSearchSchema is no longer an animation asset
- This was a kludge to get the bone reference UI to work
- Now it's a data asset and implements IBoneReferenceSkeletonProvider
- Removed related asset type actions and factory
+ FPoseSearchIndex replaces bits of UPoseSearchIndex
- Has narrower scope and is shared by UPoseSearchSequenceMetaData and UPoseSearchDatabase
+ Odds n' ends
- Removed FPoseSearchBuildQueryScratch. FPoseHistory now owns memory required for taking samples.
- Debug drawing reworked in terms of FV API
- Added a.PoseSearch.DrawSearchIndex console command to render the search index of any animation sequences currently open in the editor
- Removed Blueprint function library for building search indices since animation modifiers are no longer needed

Users can now select the blend profile mode: Blend Weight Factor based or Time Factor based.
The Blend Weight Factor method is the legacy method, which multiplies the transition blend weight with the per bone factor.
The new Time Factor method allows you to specify a time factor. A value of 0.5 would mean the bone would take half the time of the transition to reach its target state, while a value of 0.1 would mean it takes a tenth of the time, etc. A value of 0 would make the bone instantly transition into the target state.

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

[CL 14521985 by Thomas Sarkanen in ue5-main branch]
Removed direct access to currently compiling BP class to restrict unguarded mutation.
Const-corrected various accessors and overrides.
Moved UObject-based compiler subsystems to 'handlers' and removed UObject dependency.
Moved from set of virtual functions on subsystems/handlers to a restricted set of contexts passed to specific multicast delegates that handlers subscribe to.
Removed anim class subsystems.
Moved property access code to engine module (editor code is still in a plugin).
Fixed nativized builds where anim BPs have nativized/non-nativized classes in the hierarchy

- Inertialization requests made without the context of an ancestor inertialization node now log an error identifying the source of the request.
- Added an editor only table to map runtime nodes back to their source. This enables runtime node errors to identify the source.
- The log messages are text only for now, as this is a limitation of the current message log handling in AnimInstanceProxy. However, having the reverse map gets us halfway to runtime node messages with clickable hyperlinks.
- Don't log errors if anim graph blend time is zero. Anim graph times are allowed to be zero to cancel inertialziation, but there's no need to complain about a missing inertialization node in that case.
- Improved inertialization documentation
