The main change is that FSoftSkinVertex, used by FSkeletalMeshLODModel, in now stores weights as 16-bit after conversion from the import data. This increases the size of each FSoftSkinVertex from 144 bytes to 160 bytes (about 10% increase). By default render meshes still use 8-bit skin weights, with weights downshifted from the 16-bit modeling data, so no change in GPU memory consumption there. However, the vertex buffer will automatically return a 16-bit skin weights when requested from the GPU side (e.g. for CPU skinning and viewing tangents).
This change in the model data and vertex buffer CPU-side query, resulted in many changes throughout the codebase and will have an effect on licensees who are actively reading from and writing to these two storage locations.
The GPU skin cache shader has had one more permutation added when not using unlimited skin weights. The vertex factory is not affected.

Reverting as it causes UE-165118 (Insights log not being gathered on some platforms). The problem was that some systems rely on the cached paths being available very early during the launch sequence. Delaying the initialization of these paths leads to non-existent paths being used and traces not being written.

-Nanite-specific settings for tangent and degenerates are no longer also applied to the non-nanite mesh LODs on the same mesh.
-100% fallback meshes now have identical tangents to input mesh. Don't skip the tangent generation in StaticMeshBuilder for these meshes and don't recalculate tangents in Nanite builder.
