Deprecation of FPlatformMath::IsNegative*() functions.
New FPlatformMath::IsNegativeOrNegativeZero().
Fix up of existing usage to either use < 0 or IsNegativeOrNegativeZero where appropriate.
Fixes for aliasing problems in various FMath functions, including IsNegative*().
Resubmission of CL# 19833778 with fixes for problematic Mac and Android toolchains, causing spurious errors while building PCHs.

The function would remap polygroups of the source meshes, then use FStaticMeshOperations::AppendMeshDescription() which would also mess with the groups.
Providing a polygroup delegate to AppendMeshDescription() solves the issue.

FLinearColor has also been modified to make any double->float conversions explicit. Previously all 3D TVector versions were allowed to be implicit and thus could convert TVector<double> => FLinearColor => TVector4<float>.
Fixed up all engine and game casts. Added "//LWC_TODO: precision loss" around any explicit casts that previously were silently explicit and we may need to revisit for precision loss analysis.

* Added GroupIdenticalMeshesForBaking, which, when activated, will result in identical meshes (or mesh instances) being baked only once.
Other changes/fixes
* Always rely on the StaticMesh RenderData when retrieving mesh description for mesh merging/simplification (was the case when retrieving from a SMC, now also the case for a SM).
* For some reason, Material baking was rendering each triangle twice, but with opposite facing. Uneeded as we are rendering with backface culling disabled.

* Renamed remains of FRawMesh to MeshDescription

Prepared direct attribute access for deprecation, preferring use of APIs to access static mesh attributes.
Fixed recently merged Enterprise code to comply with new APIs.
Changed all tools to use triangle-centric iteration where possible.
Added new MeshAttributeArray APIs for querying attribute flags, and added a new Mandatory flag.
Various bug fixes.

- Removed hardcoded element type arrays (Vertices, Edges, Triangles etc.). Mesh element types can now be arbitrarily added, with any number of channels.
- Mesh element containers have a much leaner format; instead of sparse arrays, they are now represented by a simple bitarray, determining whether an index is used or not. Consequently, mesh topology is now entirely described with the attribute system, e.g. edge start and end vertices, triangle vertices, etc.
- Support added for attributes of arbitrary dimensions, e.g. float[4] or int[2].
- Support added for attributes which index into another mesh element container.
- Added FMeshElementIndexer: this is an efficient container for maintaining backward references from one element type to another; for example, edges have an attribute specifying which vertices are at each end (an attribute of type FVertexID[2]). With an indexer, it is possible to look up which edges contain a given vertex, even though this is not explicitly stored. Indexers are designed to do minimal allocations and update lazily and in batch when necessary.
- Added support for preserving UV topology in static meshes. UVs are now a first-class element type which may be indexed directly from triangles.
- Added the facility to access the underlying array in an attribute array directly.
- Triangles now directly reference their vertex, edge and UV IDs. Vertex instances are to be deprecated.
- Changed various systems to be triangle-centric rather than polygon-centric, as this is faster. Triangles are presumed to be the elementary face type in a MeshDescription, even if polygons are still supported. The concept of polygons will be somewhat shifted to mean a group of triangles which should be treated collectively for editing purposes.
- Optimised normal/tangent generation and FBX import.
- Deprecated EditableMesh, MeshEditor and StaticMeshEditorExtension plugins - these are to be removed, but they still have certain hooks in place which need removing.
