Made some minor changes in USkeleton to accommodate this fix:
- USkeleton::AddCurveMetaData now adds a metadata object to the skeleton if one doesn't exist already.
- Did some slight refactoring so that the UAnimCurveMetaData is only created in one function.

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

- Implement remapping of BoneTrackIndices for PoseAssets between Skeletons, to support evaluating them with _remapping only_ skeletons

+ Added SkeletalMerging plugin - which exposes (blueprint-accessible) API for both SkeletalMesh merging and Skeleton merging
+ Added API to add compatible Skeletons at runtime
+ Add ability to construct FReferenceSkeletonModifier with only a USkeleton
* required friend-ing to retrieve mutable ReferenceSkeleton
* Engine skeletal merging API input parameters have been exposed to Blueprints
* Switched to Skeleton compatiblity check for Linked animation instances rather than direct skeleton comparison
* Exposed USkeleton as a BlueprintType
* Ensured that runtime generated USkeletons are included in USkeleton::LoadedSkeletons
- Removed EngineTest and QAGame SkeletalMeshMerging code (now part of SkeletalMerging plugin)
- Added redirectors to patch-up existing test content
- Enabled new plugin for both EngineTest and QAGame
