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

- Optimized FFolder resolving to UActorFolder : now uses and maintains an acceleration table
- Favor creation of FFolder using ActorFolderGuid when available
- FFolder creation now always passes a Root Object to facilitate Root Object ptr resolving (even when it's the main world)
- Fixed Duplicate Hierarchy when using Actor Folders and target level is different
- Fixed copy/paste actor from Persistent to LevelInstance not loosing actor folder
- Fixed mark for delete of an Actor Folder that could generate duplicates
- Modified fix of duplicate Actor Folders in a level : instead of renaming duplicates, mark for delete all duplicates except one and redirect children to the one we keep

Move DataLayers' EditorWorldSetting logic from DataLayerEditorSubsystem & WorldDataLayers to DataLayerSubsystem
Use DataLayerInstance::GetOuterWorldDataLayers instead of retrieving the WorldDataLayers from UWorld::GetWorldDataLayers instead
Rename UDataLayerSubsystem::GetDataLayerFromAsset to GetDataLayerInstanceFromAsset to be inline with the rest of the API
Preparation for multiple AWorldDataLayers existing in the same world

UDeprecatedDataLayerInstance allows to boot level using deprecated UDataLayers
Worlds using DataLayer can run the DataLayerToAssetCommandlet to transition their existing DataLayers
FActorDataLayer interface is deprecated.
DataLayers Blueprint referencers should now use DataLayerAsset to retrieve DataLayerInstances.
DataLayer Code referencers should now use DataLayerAssets or DataLayerInstance FName to retrieve DataLayerInstances.
DataLayerLabels now only used for display/UI purpose
Relabeling DataLayers is not permitted anymore on new DataLayerInstances (allowed on UDeprecatedDataLayerInstance)
Added Changelist Validation for DataLayers
Added a column to the datalayer outliner showing any data layer errors.

- Refactored viewport's current level combobox and added "current data layers" in data layer outliner and "current folder" in world outliner to use this system.
- Can optionally be hidden from viewport using advanced flag in ULevelEditorViewportSettings.
