This change consists of multiple changes:
Core:
- Deprecation of ANY_PACKAGE macro. Added ANY_PACKAGE_DEPRECATED macro which can still be used for backwards compatibility purposes (only used in CoreUObject)
- Deprecation of StaticFindObjectFast* functions that take bAnyPackage parameter
- Added UStruct::GetStructPathName function that returns FTopLevelAssetPath representing the path name (package + object FName, super quick compared to UObject::GetPathName) + wrapper UClass::GetClassPathName to make it look better when used with UClasses
- Added (Static)FindFirstObject* functions that find a first object given its Name (no Outer). These functions are used in places I consider valid to do global UObject (UClass) lookups like parsing command line parameters / checking for unique object names
- Added static UClass::TryFindType function which serves a similar purpose as FindFirstObject however it's going to throw a warning (with a callstack / maybe ensure in the future?) if short class name is provided. This function is used in places that used to use short class names but now should have been converted to use path names to catch any potential regressions and or edge cases I missed.
- Added static UClass::TryConvertShortNameToPathName utility function
- Added static UClass::TryFixShortClassNameExportPath utility function
- Object text export paths will now also include class path (Texture2D'/Game/Textures/Grass.Grass' -> /Script/Engine.Texture2D'/Game/Textures/Grass.Grass')
- All places that manually generated object export paths for objects will now use FObjectPropertyBase::GetExportPath
- Added a new startup test that checks for short type names in UClass/FProperty MetaData values
AssetRegistry:
- Deprecated any member variables (FAssetData / FARFilter) or functions that use FNames to represent class names and replaced them with FTopLevelAssetPath
- Added new member variables and new function overloads that use FTopLevelAssetPath to represent class names
- This also applies to a few other modules' APIs to match AssetRegistry changes
Everything else:
- Updated code that used ANY_PACKAGE (depending on the use case) to use FindObject(nullptr, PathToObject), UClass::TryFindType (used when path name is expected, warns if it's a short name) or FindFirstObject (usually for finding types based on user input but there's been a few legitimate use cases not related to user input)
- Updated code that used AssetRegistry API to use FTopLevelAssetPaths and USomeClass::StaticClass()->GetClassPathName() instead of GetFName()
- Updated meta data and hardcoded FindObject(ANY_PACKAGE, "EEnumNameOrClassName") calls to use path names

- Refactored how the code handles disabling streaming so we can support multiple actor descriptor containers.
- Store if the partitioned level has streaming disabled in the asset registry tags so it can be queried without having the map loaded.
- Adapted changelist validation to query the disable streaming state for unloaded levels.

UDeprecatedDataLayerInstance allows to boot level using deprecated UDataLayers
Worlds using DataLayer can run the DataLayerToAssetCommandlet to transition their existing DataLayers
FActorDataLayer interface is deprecated.
DataLayers Blueprint referencers should now use DataLayerAsset to retrieve DataLayerInstances.
DataLayer Code referencers should now use DataLayerAssets or DataLayerInstance FName to retrieve DataLayerInstances.
DataLayerLabels now only used for display/UI purpose
Relabeling DataLayers is not permitted anymore on new DataLayerInstances (allowed on UDeprecatedDataLayerInstance)
Added Changelist Validation for DataLayers
Added a column to the datalayer outliner showing any data layer errors.

-Add validation for same Runtime Grid in references
-Run validation iteratively until we've propagated all settings fixes (in case of long cycles, which shouldn't be a common case) but only report errors in the initial check (before propagating any fix) so that users only see errors for data they can view/fix.
-Changed validation for Attached actors, Attached actors validate their settings from the topmost parent so that we don't get multiple confusing errors and fixups

- Deprecated enum EActorGridPlacement and replaced AActor::GridPlacement by bIsSpatiallyLoaded.
- It makes more sense from a user perspective to set an actor as "non-spatially loaded" instead of "always loaded", especially with data layers.
- If we ever need it, having the possibility to set actors to use their location or bounds to go in the grid will be a per-grid setting.

-When validating a CL with actors in a WorldPartition map, it locates and uses the ActorDescContainer for the map to do a validation of the Actors in the CL and inform the user of various errors. The same validation code is used in MapCheck.
