- Renamed DesiredBoundSize to DesiredBoundRadius - more clear and it implies sphere
- MergeSetting is now exposed if you decide not to simplify
- Shrink after all done so that we don't use that reserved mass memory
[CL 2530639 by Lina Halper in Main branch]
- Added build of UseLOD
- This allows user to merge actor using certain LOD as base

- Made sure saving/loading works fine
- Packages are not created internally for merge actor if Outer exists - in this case, map
- It won't be visible in CB

* Distance field building is now asynchronous and stored in the DDC separately from static mesh data.
* Added OcclusionMaxDistance and Contrast properties to Movable sky light
* Using the GBuffer normal instead of the generated distance field normal, fixes artifacts on two-sided materials and between modular pieces. Also saves about .7ms / 4.5ms
* Points in the distance field are only considered 'inside' the mesh if > 50% of all rays traced hit a backface. Most meshes can have a valid distance field generated with this heuristic. Meshes without a distance field representation can receive occlusion.
* Fortnite two-sided foliage with world position offset animation works fine now
* Using the resulting bent normal for diffuse lighting, improves consistency in occluded corners
* Resulting bent normal is also used to occlude skylight specular using an approximate cone-cone intersection, prevents leaking where SSR is not available
* Fixed stationary skylights not getting lightmap mixing
* Reflection captures now work with the movable skylight, which adds its diffuse contribution to IndirectIrradiance so their lightmap mixing works
* Added new show flag to visualize mesh distance fields, which ray traces through the distance fields and gives a sense of their shape

World Browser: LOD maps generator now correctly handles maps under SC
ProxyMesh utilitiy now produces assets in a separate packages or in one single package
ProxyMesh and MergeActors utilities now use more consistent names for a produced assets (demolet naming conventions)

* Provides mid-range stable AO for dynamic rigid meshes
* Movable sky lights are now supported, and distance field AO is used for shadowing Movable sky lighting from dynamic scenes
* Static meshes are preprocessed into signed distance field volumes at mesh build time when the r.AllowMeshDistanceFieldRepresentations project setting is enabled
* Non-uniform scaling does not work with this method (mirroring is fine), animating through world position offset also causes artifacts as the two representations diverge
* Occlusion is computed along cones to reduce over-shadowing, object distance fields are operated on directly (no hierarchy) to obtain enough resolution to prevent leaking, visibility traces are done with cone stepping to allow better parallelization, and shading is done adaptively in space and time using the surface cache.
