Animation for transforms exported as relative to parent actors. Hidden nodes are not exported by the plugin so relative transform need to be taken to closest exported ancestor node.

- main improvement is to handle situations when material change event is sent during update - vray materials also fire events when RenderBegin/RenderEnd is called on their nodes

- Changed geometry-related events to use ReferenceMaker notifications
- Result is that notifications are immediate..
- ..therefore could be ignored when sent from within Update. This allows setting Geom nodes to produce Render mesh during update(switching to Render mesh sends notification).
- Test case - AutoSync for optimize/turbosmooth/vrayproxy etc objects exports Render mesh(not viewport mesh) and doesn't spam DirectLink updates

- Node transforms updated when Max time slider changes
- Optimize Collision Sync - not using Max api to find node by name but instead use plugin's recorded name->node mapping
- additional refactor to simplify further validity checks(for geometry, materials etc)

rules of thumb:
- Actor transforms are in doubles
- mesh internal data are in floats, except UVs that are in doubles
- compiled 3dsmax, archicad, navisworks, revit, rhino, sketchup, solidworks

- Changes to Texmaps are synced(bitmap and other types, bakeable or not)
- No unused textures left in the udatasmith file(any situation when texture was used but not anymore)
- Only textures referenced in converted material are exported. This is an improvement over old exporter where it exported all texmaps referenced by source Max material and then cleaned up scene.

- Export outputs into Messages dialog and log timings for each export stage. Always enabled
- Sync/AutoSync can enable this too, with "Datasmith_SetExportOption_StatSync true" mxs command
- removed info/warnings from outputting to Listener, only Messages and Unreal log
- Unreal log is located here - %LOCALAPPDATA%\UnrealDatasmithExporter\Saved\Logs\UnrealDatasmithExporter.log

- test: add two geometries with different multisubobj materials to the same Forest object
- also fixed crash related to Containers. Test: create container, close it, open, close, previously this whould eventually crash

- mesh with multiple material ids but single material(i.e. not a multimaterial) is consolidated into single mesh with one material slot. Simple test - create a box(in Max it defaults to 6 matIds) and assign a material then sync/export/observe
- sorted material slots to make them in the same order as in multimaterial
- unused materials removed from Datasmith scene. I.e. assign material - sync - assign different material - first material should go away from udatasmith if not used on other nodes

[CL 19333134 by kerim borchaev in ue5-main branch]
- fixed scene reset/new/load DirectLink name
- (internal)flag to use viewport mesh for Sync/AutoSync to prevent GeometryChanged events appearing. Testcase - use Optimize/MeshSmooth/TurboSmooth modifier and have render/viewport mesh different quality. This would cause infinite update before.

- Scope: Pure Metallic, Thin(as ThinTranslucent), Transparent/Refractive material(including volumetric transmittance for PathTracer), simple opaque, emissive materials
- Roughness(with Glossiness mode) converted linearly. So that it's invertible same as in Max - e.g. 0.5 Roughness is same as 0.5 Gloss
- Specular/Ior conversion suported for both Ior and Disney modes. Ior is properly converted(to Specular). And Disney Specular to refraction Ior.

- Converted Max Physical Material to Datasmith UEPbr, including Clear coat
- Testcases:
- Opaque
- Simple Transparent Max material exported as simple transparency(no refraction, ior)
- Advanced Transparent Max material exported as refractive material
- ClearCoat(ior, roughness used)
- Added ThinTranslucent variant(when Max material is ThinWalled or IOR it 1.0)
- Reflection converted to Specular
- Additionally: Fixed transparency color map, emission map/color map that was broken
