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

FImage is now the standard preferred type for a bag of pixels
FImageView can point at pixels without owning an allocation
ERawImageFormat (FImage) converts to ETextureSourceFormat
FImageUtils provides generic load/save and get/set from FImage
major cleanup in the ImageWrappers
new preferred API is through ImageWrapperModule Compress/Decompress
SetRaw/GetRaw functions cleaned up to not have undefined behavior on unexpected formats
ImageWrapper output added for HDR,BMP,TGA
RGBA32F format added and supported throughout import/export
EditorFactories import/export made more generic, most image types handled the same way using FImage now
Deprecate old TSF RGBA order pixel formats
Fix many crashes or bad handling of unusual pixel formats
Pixel access functions should be used instead of switches on pixel type

Add WidgetBlueprintGeneratedClassExtension to let the user grab the Editor from a extended menu item.
Add a OnRegisterTabsForEditor to let the user modify the menu but only in some ApplicationMode.
Add Extension for the Widget Blueprint Editor, that let the user add extra info in the Blueprint and let the user add extra info to the generated class. The generated info is saved on the WidgetBlueprintGeneratedClass (info is on the Class and not on the UserWidget).

Also removed the UEditorEngine::BroadcastBlueprintCompiled that took a map of objects, as nothing calls it
