Asset Editors now don't have a non closeable tab by default, instead we show a text hint if the user accidentally closes all tabs

Fix a crash in some asset editors when you force deleted an asset with pending changes and hit "cancel" on the save dialog

- multiselection: bones can be multi-selected (using shift/ctrl) so that they can be bulk edited
- bones can be transformed individually (unlike in the level editor where the last selected element's transform is used as pivot)
- added USkeletalMeshGizmoContextObject to manage gizmo wrappers for skeletal mesh tools
- gizmo: re-used the transform gizmo work done with several fixes/improvements so that they can be used in other contexts
- UTransformGizmo can be used without TransformGizmoSource, most of the infos can be retrieved from the IToolsContextQueriesAPI
- UTransformGizmo can be passed an external StateTarget to handle transaction externally
- UTransformGizmo fixed rotations going in the wrong direction when dragging

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

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)
