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

Clean up atmospheric fog and have it instaciate a sky atmosphere by default instead
AtmosphericFog now inherits from SkyAtmosphere and looks vaguely similar. Serialisation is handled with a serialisation enum + ue5 version.
"ClassRedirects" could not be used because parameters are not compatible and also due to different serialisation on both component.
So instead Skyamtosphere now has a bool bIsAtmosphericFog (false by default).
AtmosphericFog component now inheriting from Skyatmosphere is setting that to true so that serialisation can be properly handled for both cases : pure Skyatmosphere or SkyAtmosphere replacing a AtmosphericFog with loading/saving. This also supports StaticLightingGUID once converted, see USkyAtmosphereComponent::Serialize.
SkyAtmosphere aerial perspective is now properly gated behind the base pass vertex shader designed for that using BASEPASS_SKYATMOSPHERE_AERIALPERSPECTIVE.
Removed all AtmosphericFog related render code.
Renamed a bunch of shader permutation.
UActorFactoryAtmosphericFog is removed so that the actor is no longer visible and instanciable from menu (existing actors in levels are still created correctly)
UAtmosphericFogComponent is made notplaceable.
ShooterGame compiled and ran succesfuly.
Colton Daniels (QA) will upate reference screneshot in a later CL.

- activating an editor mode that was already active but in an drawer, opens that drawer
- dock tabs can now register for drawer opening/closing callbacks so that they can do stuff when the drawer opens or closes. For example, now the placement browser focuses its search field when the drawer opens
