Blueprints now start with basic nodes, in a disabled state that will not be compiled. These nodes will auto-enable if you connect another node to them.
#jira UE-7189 - Make sure that newly created Blueprints always have a nice starting point

UETOOL-213 - Minimize Slate FString -> FText conversion (remove SLATE_TEXT_ATTRIBUTE)
This fixes any editor/engine specific code that was passing text to Slate as FString rather than FText.

Introduces the concept of "Active Ticking" to allow Slate to go to sleep when there is no need to update the UI.
While asleep, Slate will skip the Tick & Paint pass for that frame entirely.
- There are TWO ways to "wake" Slate and cause a Tick/Paint pass:
1. Provide some sort of input (mouse movement, clicks, and key presses). Slate will always tick when the user is active.
- Therefore, if the logic in a given widget's Tick is only relevant in response to user action, there is no need to register an active tick.
2. Register an Active Tick. Currently this is an all-or-nothing situation, so if a single active tick needs to execute, all of Slate will be ticked.
- The purpose of an Active Tick is to allow a widget to "drive" Slate and guarantee a Tick/Paint pass in the absence of any user action.
- Examples include animation, async operations that update periodically, progress updates, loading bars, etc.
- An empty active tick is registered for viewports when they are real-time, so game project widgets are unaffected by this change and should continue to work as before.
- An Active Tick is registered by creating an FWidgetActiveTickDelegate and passing it to SWidget::RegisterActiveTick()
- There are THREE ways to unregister an active tick:
1. Return EActiveTickReturnType::StopTicking from the active tick function
2. Pass the FActiveTickHandle returned by RegisterActiveTick() to SWidget::UnregisterActiveTick()
3. Destroy the widget responsible for the active tick
- Sleeping is currently disabled, can be enabled with Slate.AllowSlateToSleep cvar
- There is currently a little buffer time during which Slate continues to tick following any input. Long-term, this is planned to be removed.
- The duration of the buffer can be adjusted using Slate.SleepBufferPostInput cvar (defaults to 1.0f)
- The FCurveSequence API has been updated to work with the active tick system
- Playing a curve sequence now requires that you pass the widget being animated by the sequence
- The active tick will automatically be registered on behalf of the widget and unregister when the sequence is complete
- GetLerpLooping() has been removed. Instead, pass true as the second param to Play() to indicate that the animation will loop. This causes the active tick to be registered indefinitely until paused or jumped to the start/end.

#TTP 334976 - BLUEPRINTS: Drag-dropping can still create nodes in read-only graphs (e.g., during PIE or when viewing an anim parent graph)
#Branch UE4
#Proj GraphEditor
#Add added SGraphPanel::IsGraphEditable so nodes and objects placed in the graph can easily determine if the graph is read only.
#Change Modified SGraphPanel::OnDragLeave to restore the tooltip if a FDecoratedDragDropOp has been modified to indicate that the graph is read only.
#Change Modified SGraphPanel::OnDragOver to change the icon on the tooltip to a lined circle if the graph is read only.
#Change Modified SGraphPanel::OnDrop to exit without changes if the graph is read only.
#Change Modified FGraphEditorDragDropAction to present feedback to the user if the drag drop target is invalid. this is activated by setting FGraphEditorDragDropAction::SetDropTargetValid, this just collpases the active icon and displays a lined circle with the same tooltip when set to false.
#Add added SGraphNode::IsNodeEditable to determine if the node is currently editable, based on an evaluation of the IsEditable attribute and the parent graphs IsGraphEditable.
#Change modified SGraphNode::OnDragOver to display a lined circle if the parent graph or the node is read only.
#Change modified SGraphNode::OnDrop to exit without changes if the parent graph or the node is read only.
#Change modified SGraphPin::OnDrop to exit without changes if the parent graph or the owner node is read only.

Settings specific to Anim, Blueprint and Material Editor should probably be broken out into their own settings classes in the respective modules at some point. It feels a little strange that the GraphEditor needs to be aware of specific pin and node title types. At this time I did not want to refactor the existing graph editors though, and since many of the properties are currently being shared, pulling these settings out of UEditorUserSettings is at least a good first step. In the future I would like to see settings sections for specific graph based editors instead of having a generic 'Graph Editor' section that is shared by some or all editors.
I exposed various color settings in the UI as many users seem to be quite excited about customizing their Editor. If you think that some settings should be added or removed, please feel free to make any desired changes or let me know. Thanks!
