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

Fix scene import when there is no specified factory
The scene node specialtype attribute can now be a "Transform" type. This allow the generic scene pipeline to found group transform node.

Assets spread across content roots are migrated into the corresponding content root in the destination, if it exists. If any don't exist, migrate the selection and dependencies to temporary packages into a folder that is migrated to the destination.
== Notes ==
AssetTools.h/cpp
* Remove OriginalRoot filtering down reference gathering to objects in the selected object package's content root (opens up the routine to migrating plugin content)
* Trawl the set of objects to migrate and compare their content root against the available content roots in the destination project's plugin directory hierarchy
* If some plugins are missing from the destination, prompt the user to consolidate everything into a temporary folder
* If the user selects to consolidate we duplicate objects and fixup references to those duplicates, and save those packages to a folder named by the user
* If necessary copy those temporary packages to the destination content root
* Tidy up any temporary packages saved into the source project

- When enabled, folders are actual objects : modifying a folder won't affect actors (more compliant with OFPA).
- Enabled by default for World Partition and Level Instances.
- Can be enabled on regular levels (experimental feature 'Use Actor Folder Objects').
- If Level uses OFPA, ActorFolders will also be saved in their own package (but will use __ExternalObjects__ root folder).
- In a future refactoring, external actors will also be moved in the same root folder.
- Generalized saving object in an external package (different from its outer package)
- World outliner supports old folders and new actor folder objects : Levels using the actor folder objects will show a root Level node (like Level Instances).

Added a setting to turn on interchange import only for textures.
The selection of the asset in the content is now only done after all the asset are imported when using interchange.

Advanced Copy - We no longer open every package and all dependencies to setup possible renames, the code has been changed to do all the logic on PackageName, needed to cut out bGenerateUniqueNames from the copy params for now.
TODO - A good future improvement would be to make it so that tracking dependencies becomes lazy in the UI, as someone expands items in the tree, it would extend the dependencies 2 levels to know if it termininates or not, and wait until it's expanded to further look for depependencies. Would require a much larger refactor than I wanted to do here.
