Use a TOptional in FApp, if there is not TCProvider, the frame time will be invalidated. This will change soon in another CL where we will have a "default" TC if no provider is defined but the frame time can be invalid if the TC provider is not "synchronized".
Remove FTimecode for maths in LiveLink and nDisplay, only use timecode for display.
Use FTimecode::IsDropFormatTimecodeSupported for now, to convert from FrameTime to Timecode. That will be changed in another CL when we support NDF and DF properly.
Deprecated AudioCaptureTimecodeProvider.
Generate a default TC value when no TC provided is set. By default it's enabled and the framerate is 24 fps.
Add a CVar that set the engine in DropFrame or NonDropFrame when the TC is 29.97 or 59.94.
Remove the option in sequencer to select between the 2. It's a CVar and not a project settings because other softwares that link with Core need that information.

MAJOR FEATURES & CHANGES
============================
Change 4280523 by Patrick.Boutot
Add option in AjaCustomTimeStep to wait until the frame to be ready. Previously, the frame was there but not yet processed so it was possible that it was not ready by the time we wanted to read it. It won't work with interlaced because the 2 fields are processed at the same time. In interlaced, will get a 30fps behaviour when we actually want a 60fps.
Fix bug that didn't set and reset bIsOwned properly when it was first initialized as not owned.
Change 4280526 by Patrick.Boutot
Add accessor to get the leaf media source or output.
Change 4280624 by Patrick.Boutot
Add timecode acessor to media samples
Change 4280626 by Patrick.Boutot
Rework the timing for AJA Media Player. Previously, we took the timing of the frame. That was a bad idea because if 2 incomings video frames were coming a the same time, you would only show one. Making the buffering system useless.
That affects the Custom Time Step since it was waiting for the interrupt signal and in some behavior we would like the frame to be ready to be used by UE. Same the timecode in the MediaSample because we may not used it to stamps the frame.
