#jira UE-11822 - Add up vector, roll and scale properties to USplineComponent which can be used when calculating rotations/transforms at a point on the spline
#jira UE-13333 - BP spline components do not update when setting points
#jira UE-3637 - SplineComponent: Add a get transform at distance accessor
Summary of changes:
- FInterpCurve now natively understands looping. A input key can be set, at which point the spline will loop back to its start point. Adjusted FInterpCurve methods to take looped curves into account.
- Fixed bugs in FInterpCurve regarding returning default values (T(ForceInit) instead of T() otherwise FVectors and FQuats are not initialized correctly).
- SplineComponent now holds three separate splines (location, rotation and scale).
- The SplineReparamTable is no longer transient, but is built and saved as part of the asset.
- Changed the SplineComponent API. All methods now take a ESplineCoordinateSpace value which specifies whether the values are intended for use in local or world space. The old methods have been deprecated but not removed (for now).
- bAllowSplineEditingPerInstance is deprecated. A new member (bSplineHasBeenEdited) has superseded it, and is set automatically when editing the spline with the visualizer. Added "Reset to Default" option in the visualizer, which restores the archetype defaults.
- SplineComponentVisualizer determines if spline points have been initialized by the user construction script, and, if so, will disallow editing. This is to conform with the general idea that the UCS always overrides property values.
- Fixed a number of bugs in the visualizer, and added new facilities to allow the scale and rotation to be edited (still work-in-progress).

- Added "Thickness" parameter to some functions (only for wired shapes rendering and with 0 as default value)
- Added GetHalfSphereMesh, GetConeMesh and GetCapsuleMesh functions

* Moved Slate.h into SlateBasics.h and began shifting less commonly used headers into SlateExtras.h.
* Slate.h now simply includes SlateBasics.h and SlateExtras.h.
* Slate.h includes a deprecated warning now to indicate that SlateBasics.h + specific includes should be used instead.
* Moved dozens of inlined functions using Slate widgets into .cpp files to avoid header dependencies.
* All code samples now include SlateBasics.h and SlateExtras.h so future shifts will not break most those projects, but not trigger the deprecation warning of including Slate.h.

- Changed USplineComponent::SplineReparamTable to a transient member and force rebuild each time in PostLoad() / PostDuplicate().
- Initialize the SplineReparamTable size at the start to save needless reallocations (as its size is known from the beginning).
- Added menu options to set spline key types (curve, linear, constant)
- Added Reset to Automatic Tangent to allow resetting to either a clamped or an unclamped tangent.
