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

CPF_Parm was not being applied to child properties (ie. items in the array), and the IsPropertyVisible delegate wasn't checking parent properties for the flag, which was causing only the root to be visible. This is a result of a change made to the details view to run the IsPropertyVisible delegate more frequently - previously it was only run when initializing the property tree.

Listening to input is opt in per utility, and would currently only be triggered if you create an associated Input Action that is available to the editor.

Setters and getters are native functions called by FProperties when setting property values with *_InContainer functions.
Setters and getter function names can be manually specified with Setter = Func and Getter = Func keywords inside of UPROEPRTY macro but they will also be automatically parsed if the name is not explicitly specified if the setter or getter function name matches SetPropertyName and GetPropertyName pattern.
The latter behavior can be disabled in UHT's DefaultEngine.ini by setting AutomaticSettersAndGetters=False.
ImportText and ExportTextItem functions have been deprecated and should be replaced with *_InContainer or *_Direct variants.

When running with ODSC in the editor Materials can have incomplete or partial shader maps. In other words some shaders _might_ be missing. If a render system requires all shaders to be present and can't use ODSC functionality to compile the necessary shaders we need a mechanism for compiling just the missing shaders.
- Added UMaterialInterface::CacheShaders() which is implemented for UMatetrial and UMaterialInstance. The call is just forwarded along to CacheResourceShadersForRendering and InitStaticPermutation respectively.
- You can call CacheResourceShadersForRendering multiple times (even with a completed shader map) and it will not recache uniform expressions. If the Resource's shader map is complete the function is a no-op.
- FObjectCacheContext can accept a UWorld and will only return primitives that are in that world.
- Added a function SubmitRemainingJobsForWorld(UWorld* World, EMaterialShaderPrecompileMode CompileMode) that will iterate all materials used by primitives in the world and compile the missing shaders.
- SubmitRemainingJobsForWorld() is used in various scenarios in the editor to ensure _all_ shaders are compiled for all materials before proceeding.
- Explicitly try to compile UI and PP materials. Since we don't know which ones are used in the given world we just have to iterate all loaded ones. This is a potential area of optimization.
- If there are already complete shader maps (if you are not running with the shader job cache), SubmitRemainingJobsForWorld is fast and results in a no-op for each material.

- Also got rid of the loaded class cache in favor of a cached state for just opened BP editors that gets invalidated when settings are edited or the BP is (directly) reparented
