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

Animaton attribute index remapping:
- Introduced FMeshAttributeContainer which stores the attributes according to FMeshPoseIndex
- Added FinalizeAttributeEvaluationResults to SkeletalMeshComponent - which remaps the evaluated compact-pose indexed attributes to mesh-indices
- Added CopyFrom template for different bone index types
- Updated CopyPoseFromMesh
* Added SourceBoneToTarget as attributes are mapped from source to target vs target to source for Bones
- Ensure that attributes are only inserted during evaluation if its bone index is present in the required bones
- Added testing for remapping attributes
* Remapping between LODs with removed bones
* Remapping between Skeletal meshes with different skeleton hierarchies

+ Attribute structures to UAnimDataModel
* These are sampled/copied into AnimSequence whenever they change
+ Attribute related Notifies and Payloads
+ Controller API and Actions for Attribute related behaviour
+ Type traits (TAttributeTypeTraitsBase) to determine support functionality for user-defined attribute types
+ TAttributeContainer equivalent to TCustomAttributes, used for keeping track of attributes at runtime in a TMap similar fashion
* Has two exported specializations FStack/Heap-AttributeContainer
+ IAttributeBlendOperator interface used for Attribute related operations in Anim graph
* Allows for user-defined blending behaviour for their associated types
+ TAttributeBlendOperator providing out-of-the-box blending behaviour for user-defined types
+ FAttributeBlendData helper structure, this encapsulates and abstracts the blend / attribute operations
* Exposes two iterators, allowing BlendOperator to loop through (type) overlapping Attributes and unique attributes
+ Float/Integer/String Animation Attribute structures used to support legacy TVariant CustomAttribute data types
+ Transform animation attribute structure to add support for single-FTransform based attributes
+ FAnimationAttributeIdentifier identifier used to reference an attribute in a script-friendly manor
+ AttributeTypes static API for registering Attribute types
+ FAttributeCurve providing a curve-type with an Attribute type as its underlying key-value
+ TWrappedAttribute helper structure to wrap end template operate on raw memory (TArray buffer)
+ Added tests for
* Attribute related controller functionality and actions
* Attribute curve key reduction
* Evaluating attributes from AnimSequence
* Attribute operations (blend, accumulate etc)
* Functional testing for blendspace attribute evaluation and blending
* Changed default attribute blend type to Blend vs Override
* Updated FBX import/export paths to handle and use new Attribute data structures
* Attribute data is now incorporated into animation source data DDC key
* Deprecated Custom Attributes stored on AnimSequence get converted into their equivalent Attribute structures
* Deprecated all previous CustomAttribute structures, APIs and files
* Corrected some comments in UAnimDataController.h
* Updated existing custom attribute tests to adhere to new blend expectations/behaviour
* Updated AnimSequence resize tests to also incorporate an attribute curve
* Changed layered bone blend to use .5 blend weight vs 1.0 to cover more behaviour
* Added transform attribute used to compare against bone transform during pre-existing functional testing (blended only)
- Deleted CustomAttributes details customization

- refSkeleton access seems violated
- copied Jaren's fix w.r.t. evaluation crash due to setting different AnimBP in the middle of evaluation

Moved the work to acquire the bone transforms to PreUpdate on the game thread.
Supported master-pose by checking whether what we are copying is running master-pose (this potentially fixes issues where character heads/hats can detach).
Profiled, this averages ~8us on console per call, so not too bad.
