In FN, the workflow for creating physics assets for vehicles often involves importing at least one static mesh and copying collision shapes from it. It's currently really challenging to copy individual shapes between static and skeletal mesh body setups. With the added shape copy/paste commands, we get a lot more flexibility out of SM editor and PHAT, and a somewhat simpler workflow.
If we have physics assets A and B and we want to add one shape (or a specific subset of shapes) from a body in A to a body in B, this change is needed to do that. Since I'm trying to do this all the time while editing physics assets for vehicles, I use this shelf locally.

Static Mesh Editor changes:
- Share ownership of StaticMeshViewportClient's ModeTools via the EditorModeManager member
- Set up the EditorModeManager's preview scene and selected components when it's copied
- Add a set of FStaticMeshEditorToolbarExtender delegates to the module (similar to FSkeletalMeshEditorToolbarExtender)
- Allow adding an overlay widget to the viewport
- Add a ModeUILayer member to handle mode toolkit hosting
StaticMeshEditorModeling (new module):
- Create a mode and toolkit with AutoLOD and LODManager tools
- Add a button to the StaticMeshEditor's toolbar to toggle UMeshLODPluginEditMode

Also remove unnecessary allocations by allowing the async task to assume ownership of the vertex and index arrays passed to it.

- Moved source models related classes and implementation into separate files.
- Created a new UObject wrapper for holding mesh description bulk data; this is created as a transactable object inside a UStaticMesh.
- The cached mesh description is now an inner object of the bulk data wrapper; this allows transactions on the bulk data to affect the cached mesh.
- The static mesh SourceModels array can no longer be accessed directly: FStaticMeshSourceModel requires extra initialization before it should be used, so new LODs should be added through the static mesh API.
- Undo/redo is now fixed within the geometry tools
- Fixed regression where mesh description was being unpacked unnecessarily during transactions
- MeshDescription bulk data and its cached MeshDescriptions are now emptied prior to removing the UObject reference, in order to immediately free memory instead of needing to wait for garbage collection
- No more deadlocks when clearing or committing mesh descriptions during garbage collection
- Bulk data UObjects are constructed, where possible, at startup, in order to prevent it from happening during critical moments, e.g. during garbage collection or package saving.
