Since the subframe component of FFrameTime is clamped to the range [0.0, 1.0),
it cannot accurately represent the use case where the timecode metadata represents
subframe values as whole numbered subframes instead of as a percentage of a frame
the way the engine does. The subframe component of the FQualifiedFrameTime returned
by EvaluateRootBoneTimecodeAttributesAtTime() may not reflect the authored subframe
metadata in that case.
This new function allows access to the subframe values that were actually authored in the
timecode metadata.
An additional explicit clamp was added to EvaluateRootBoneTimecodeAttributesAtTime()
to ensure that the subframe value read from the timecode metadata is in range *before*
we try to construct an FFrameTime from it, since the constructor has a checkSlow() that
will assert if the value is out of range.

This extends the handling in EvaluateRootBoneTimecodeAttributesAtTime() to support reading
numerical values from string-typed custom attributes for any of the existing components of
FTimecode or a subframe value.
It also adds support for parsing a timecode rate string into the FFrameRate it represents,
and accounts for the use of drop frame timecode rates (with either "29.97df" for NTSC_30
or "59.94df" for NTSC_60 frame rates).

In some workflows when authoring timecode metadata, the timecode rate may be
different from the animation or capture frame rate, for example when capturing
"high" frame rate data at 120 frames per second but recording SMPTE timecode
at 30 frames per second.
This adds a "TCRate" custom attribute setting that allows authoring metadata that
specifies a timecode rate that is different from the animation data frame rate.
With this initial introduction of the new setting, the custom attribute is expected to
be integer or float typed and should represent the timecode rate in frames per second.
Drop frame is not yet supported.

A specially designated set of attribute curves can be authored on a bone
to encode timecode metadata for an animation sequence. Each attribute
encodes a different component of a complete timecode and subframe value
("TCHour", "TCMinute", "TCSecond", "TCFrame", and "TCSubframe"). The
convention is to author these attribute curves on the root bone of the animation.
This adds a function for evaluating those attributes at a particular time, and the result
is returned as a qualified frame time. If the anim sequence has an import file frame rate
specified, then that rate is used for the returned qualified frame time to more closely
match the original source of the animation. Otherwise, the sampling frame rate of the
anim sequence is used. If the root bone does not have any timecode attributes or they
otherwise cannot be evaluated (for example, because they have no keys), the function
returns false, and the qualified frame time passed by reference is unmodified.
Finally, this new function is used for the frame time hint of skeletal animation tracks in
Sequencer. Anim sequences that have these attributes authored will show the authored
timecode/frame values in the frame time hint when they are selected. This enables more
easily correlating a point in time in the anim sequence with where it came from in an
external DCC.
