Added a new anim node: AnimNext Parameters. This injects parameters into the AnimNext stack for all leafwards nodes.
Added a new way of binding to parameters on anim nodes.
- Added indirection to UAnimGraphNode_Base to allow different 'binding types' to be authored by deriving from UAnimGraphNodeBinding
- Added new binding type for AnimNext parameters
- Moved existing binding code (inc UI widget creation) into UAnimGraphNodeBinding_Base
- Binding types can be selected on a per-node or per-anim BP basis
Reworked FParamStack API a little
- Allow for better error checking when pushing/popping stack layers. Pushed layers can now only be subsequently popped by passing in the handle of the pushed layer.
- Standalone layers are now wrapped in an opaque handle rather than returning a unique ptr
- GetParamData APIs now perform more involved type checking, allowing derived object types & type conversions to be implemented
Improved parameter type sandboxing for automated tests. If running low-level type tests while execution was happening on another thread, the editor could crash because of invalidating already-existing types.
Lots of other small fixes to get workflows nicer and end-to-end functionality working

- Added support for explicitly specifying the transitions trigger time when using state machine automatic transition rules.
- Fixed state machine automatic transitions rules not triggering from a looping animation.
- Fixed state machine automatic transitions rules that have their next state as a conduit state triggering before reaching the end of the animation.
- Consolidate all the ways to check if asset in asset player is looping into a single api call, IsLooping().
- Added getter for a AssetPlayer's DeltaTimeRecord.
- Added warning when a asset player is using looping animations with automatic rule based transitions.

Additional changes:
- Added warnings for users using anim state events since we want to push towards using the state node functions.
- Added support for anim nodes to show any bound functions and not have them hardcoded.
- Added base context type for FAnimExecutionContext.
- Now users can specify the string for the default binding name of a function member reference in a BP by using the "DefaultBindingName" metadata tag. This will give the functionality to avoid having the default binding name be "NewFunction" and instead use the input string from the metadata tag.

Runtime notes:
- Removes 'smart name' usage across the animation systems.
- Changed curve blending from a uniform array (sized per skeleton) to a sparse array of sorted named values. Blends and other combiners are performed using a dual iteration 'tape merge'.
- Skeleton curves are no longer guaranteed to cover all curve names that can be found at runtime.
Editor notes:
- Curve metadata (flags, bone links etc.) is still present on the skeleton, but can also now exist on a skeletal mesh
- Curve metadata (for morph targets) is still populated on import
- Curves can now be used arbitrarily at runtime
New features:
- New Find/Replace dialog that allows for batch-replacing curves and notifies across all of a project's assets
- New curve debugger tab in various Persona editors that allows for viewing curve values live. This also now allows viewing curves for specific pose watches.
- Pose watches now output curve tracks to the Rewind Debugger

* Added overloads for FindSpecializedConversionNode and SearchForAutocastFunction that don't use output parameters. There are several instances in the engine where dummy variables are used to get around this.
* Updated the Message_ functions to use template parameter packing. The arguments are forwarded to the underlying FCompilerResultsLog, if one exists. This allows us to use tokenized messages.
* Changed several functions in FCompilerResultsLog to use the coding standard's naming convention. Specifically, arguments need to start with an uppercase letter.

[UE-168360] User can create a transition from a state into the entry state
* Relinking multiple transitions (transition nodes at once) when none of the transition nodes is selected.
* Selective relinking in case a subset of the transition nodes on a transitions are selected.
* Special case handling for transitions from entry state (they don't have a transition node connected).
* Drawing circle indicator around the arrow head in case the mouse cursor is approaching the transition.
* Hovering the arrow head of a transition highlights it by filling the circle with solid orange color and turning the arrow black.
* Ending the relink operation in empty space or the entry node will cancel the relink operation.
* Fixed bug that prevents creating new transitions ending in an entry state.

Skeleton compatibility is now bi-directional. Specifying a compatible skeleton A -> B now implies B -> A.
Skeleton compatibility is now an editor-only concern. The runtime will attempt to do the 'best it can' via name -> name mappings. Only the editor will prevent assigning incompatible skeletons in (e.g.) asset pickers etc.
Skeleton compatibility checks in editor can now be disabled in the editor preferences (and each asset picker now has a checkbox option in its view settings that allows for quick access to this).
Moves FSkeletonRemapping to its own file (which is now private).
Skeleton remappings are now generated on demand on worker threads just before animation decompression and stored in a registry, guarded by FRWScopeLock for thread-safety.
Fixed some anim BP compiler edge cases where asset references on pins were not getting preloaded correctly, causing skeletons to be erroneously reported as missing.
Exposed the current asset registry filter in SAssetView so that menu extensions can access it (and use it to provide context)
