* Tab filters are now applied before tab widgets before are created for animation blueprint editor instead of only when a user tries opening a new tab. This prevents disallowed tabs in default layouts being created.
* Event graph documents are not opened if event graph permissions are disabled when loading blueprint editor.
* Added new blueprint permission to optionally disable function overrides.

The main change is that FSoftSkinVertex, used by FSkeletalMeshLODModel, in now stores weights as 16-bit after conversion from the import data. This increases the size of each FSoftSkinVertex from 144 bytes to 160 bytes (about 10% increase). By default render meshes still use 8-bit skin weights, with weights downshifted from the 16-bit modeling data, so no change in GPU memory consumption there. However, the vertex buffer will automatically return a 16-bit skin weights when requested from the GPU side (e.g. for CPU skinning and viewing tangents).
This change in the model data and vertex buffer CPU-side query, resulted in many changes throughout the codebase and will have an effect on licensees who are actively reading from and writing to these two storage locations.
The GPU skin cache shader has had one more permutation added when not using unlimited skin weights. The vertex factory is not affected.

Removed redundant private include paths from build.cs files.
Fixed include paths to be relative to the private or public folders.
Hid or removed includes that reached into other private module folders.
Updated PublicInclude paths when necessary.

* Card sampling with squared weights instead of cutoff in order to allow surface to leak into tiny areas without coverage
* Bump min static mesh LOD to reduce mismatches between surface cache and geometry
Card placement:
* Move near plane back outside of mesh bounds during capture in order to handle displacement mismatches
* Discard surfels seeing triangle back faces only when sky isn't visible
* New additive card placement, which can be used for continuous LOD. Instead of clustering, it tries to find the best split plane until the entire surface isn't covered.
* Lower voxel and min card size to be able to cover smaller areas and place more cards
* Spawn multiple surfels per cell if they cannot be merged
* Fixed surfel generation and card size

- The number of samples returned is the square number closer to the requested number.
- Updated code paths using the function to request a number of samples close to what they previously got.

* Mostly two sided meshes are assumed to be foliage and forced to be repsented as a cube projection
* Lowered card min density treshold for cube projections

* Added r.MeshCardRepresentation.Debug for surface cache debugging. It skips DDC reads and writes, allows to regenerate per static mesh on demand and appends extra debug visualization data to every generated mapping
* Surfels are now weighted by opacity - ratio of rays which hit in a given cell, and by visibility - how many rays can hit a given Surfel from outside the mesh. This helps to select most important surfaces to cover when hitting limits
* Removed distance constraint. It�s no longer needed when card discontinuities are already handled inside the surface cache sampling code. This allows to generate larger and more optimal cards
* Limit max number of surfels to prevent generation time from exploding, as dense two sided meshes like large trees can generate many more surfels than simple walls
