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

- Unbound octree now stores hierarchical editor cells instead of leaves, this greatly reduce the number of needed editor cells for very large worlds.
- Implemented loading regions support to replace editor cells loading, in preparation for bookmark regions.
Tested against a 2000KMx2000km world + various internal projects and demos.

- Now includes full path to the base class to support BP classes (none if from a native class).
- FWorldPartitionHelpers actor descriptors iterator functions now supports BP classes.
- UWorldPartitionResaveActorsBuilder now supports filtering actors by BP classes.
- Scene Ouliner now shows the correct base class for unloaded actors instead of the first native class.

- Edigrate 19149766 from Main: wp by default with disabled streaming to mimic classic level streaming with data layers as a bonus.
- Revert part of 18994482: removed option to force load everything in the editor.
- Warn the user when the world is large enough to justify enabling streaming.

* Avoid UDIM setup for the minimap as there are no fallback possible to normal texture if Virtual Texture support is disabled in the project settings
* Rebuilt minimap for the default OpenWorld template to ensure it is not UDIM based and wil work outside of QAGame
* Added warning if a minimap exceeds the maximum texture resolution & VT support is disabled.
* Fix WorldPartitionBuilder cell iteration sometimes performed on extra cells outside of the world bound
* When running World Partition commandlets from the editor, provide the -unattended flag (to avoid blocking popups) and hide the subprocess window.

Build HLODs / Minimap in editor
* Added the necessary code to be able these builds from inside the editor, using the "Build" menu
* The HLOD build will show a dialog where you can select a few options (setup, build, forcebuild, delete), then start the build
* The minimap build has no options, will start right away
* Build is actually done through an external process, so the editor will ask to save any changes that's been made, and unload the current map before starting a commandlet
* Progress is updated by parsing the commandlet log during it's execution
* Once the build is complete, will force an asset registry scan and reload the map
* Also disabled the "HLOD Outliner" tool when in a partitionned level, as it is not working and may be confusing.
