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

Used a slightly modified version of the place actor icon for now.
Also updated a couple of raw pointers to TObjectPtr in nDisplay Light Card Actor.

The current method is erosion followed by blur of the inverted alpha.

This improves the visual quality of the light card. And you end up with smaller light cards.

To use, click on the viewport "Draw LC" button, then click on the viewport at the locations where the polygon vertices should exist, then end the polygon with right mouse button. Or abort by toggling the "Draw LC" button.
The polygon is saved in an array in the light card, and is used to generate an alpha texture. This alpha texture is independent of the color texture. This alpha texture is generated dynamically, so there is no need to save it as an asset.
The default generated alpha texture dimensions is 128x128, but can be changed with DC.LightCardPolygonTextureSize.
Currently there is visual indication of the drawing process (other than the mouse becoming a cross and the Draw LC button being highlighted).

* Fixed sudden spins of lightcards when pushing gizmo near the north and south poles in the LC Editor.
* Fixed translation jumps of grouped LCs when primary one passes through poles in the LC Editor.
* Changed LC positional parameters from float to double

This is particularly useful when nudging the lightcards around the center of the ceiling.
This spin compensation is not activated when using the lat/long axes individually.
