[CL 18923672 by thomas sarkanen in ue5-main branch]
- Removed cached USkeletalMeshComponent* from AnimGraphNode as we can now get it from AnimGraphNode_Base
- Add a templatized version of AnimGraphNode_Base::GetDebuggedAnimNode() that allows retrival of derived node types
- Can now calculate chain bones without waiting for the node to be compiled - removed associated warning from UI
- Prevent Copy+Paste of bone names in chain bone array, improving workflow
- Ensure that changing bound bone name does not reset physics body parameters, improving workflow
- Improve chain body UI

Nested property validity filter (checking to see if an entry in the menu has compatible sub-menus) is now performed for functions.
Prevented UObject types from being bound to unrelated types via the menu (now does a IsChildOf check - previously you could attempt to bind a UAnimSequence to an AActor!)
Display 'display name' for script properties/functions (also use ScriptName for native ones if available).

Due to a previous change, functions were being called on the skeleton class
Also removes an incorrect guard that was preventing binding to native function libraries

Added the abiity to tag and retrieve any anim graph node (similar to how we could reference linked anim graph nodes previously).
Ported linked anim graph nodes to use the new system
Added the ability to reference any anim graph node by tag (via a new custom node, spawnable from the context menu, with the appearance of an actor reference in a level blueprint)
Added tag display and editing in the bottom-right of anim graph nodes
Added new override point to SGraphNodeK2Var to allow for title widget parameters to be overriden by child classes

Also fixes missing error when using a non-thread-safe function call on an anim node
Also exposes CreateNodeFunctionsWidget on base anim graph node widget so that non-derived types can use it

For now, removing these as their semantics are due to change
Also converting Update and Become Relevant functions to use more-devived-typed update context (less casting required)

Split 'node context' into an 'evaluation context' and a 'node reference' type and updated regular function signatures when creating node functions. This way we can seperate concerns (and potentially reference anim nodes standalone in the future).
Moved function caller code into function ref file to stop AnimNodeBase bloat.
Fixed functions not being called on root nodes.

Adds 'template' anim BP concept. These anim BPs have no TargetSkeleton and as such cannot have direct references to animations placed inside of their anim graphs
Adds function call support from anim nodes. All anim graph nodes can now call functions when initialized, updated, evaluated or when they first become relevant.
Relevancy is established using a new FAnimSubsystemInstance_NodeRelevancy which tracks nodes in a local map, per UAnimInstance, if nodes require it.
Functions are displayed on the node if bound, and in the details panel.
Added a new override point to FAnimSubsystemInstance to allow for WT init.
Moved FMemberReference customization into a public header so it can be used on anim node functions.
Wrapped functions up into FAnimNodeFunctionRef structure so they can be re-used more effectively. Converted CallFunction node to use them.
Added a couple of simple BP function libraries to demonstrate the use of the new FAnimNodeContext (this is intended to be a generic way of exposing FAnimNode_Base types to script without the node types themselves having to be known to script directly).
Added the ability to set exposed properties as 'always dynamic' so they appear in mutable data rather than being merged into constants. This allows for the anim node data API to be changed to be less strict (and more script friendly). Now values can be set in mutable data (via GET_MUTABLE_ANIM_NODE_DATA_PTR) and attempted sets to constant data can be ignored and reported to client code.
A few minor crash fixes with edge cases (inc when trying to open an asset editor fails because of a missing skeleton/cancellation).
Also fixes an issue where literal linked anim graph/control rig/custom poroperty node inputs didnt get copied

"Call function" anim node:
- Adds the ability to call functions at different points in the anim graph execution (and under different conditions, e.g. when a branch has started blending in). Only thread-safe functions are allowed to be called.
- Adds a thread-safe override point BlueprintThreadSafeUpdateAnimation, called on worker threads for the main instance and for linked instances when they are relevant in the graph (only one call per frame for linked layer instances).
Subsystems:
- Added new override points pre/post event graph(s) (moved override point for worker thread work to around the thread safe update function call).
Improves property access integration:
- Property access now shows (and allows the user to override) the call site of accesses. This is to allow users to see when their property access calls will be made, hopefully making its use less confusing for power users.
- Tweaked UX for property access nodes and dropdowns.
- Anim node pins now have property access bindings in-line on the pin.
Also adds the abilility for the anim graph to opt-in (via a config flag) to more stringent thread safety checks. Disabled by default for now as this requires content fixup.
