The display name, filter string, and tooltips for the property editor (and associated detail customizations) are now stored as FText rather than FString. This allows us to remove SLATE_TEXT_ARGUMENT from the detail customization widgets.

Setting group expansion at the point an action is added didn't work as the property view is rebuilt before it can be passed on.
Instead replaced existing code to set the expansion state of renamed nodes so that it can be used for any expansion settings that need to be delayed until next tick.
TTP#348688 - NUXF-293 Input binds: Clicking + buttons does not expand the nodes
[CL 2332842 by Matthew Griffin in Main branch]
This is controlled by the macro "WITH_CASE_PRESERVING_NAME", which is currently just set to "WITH_EDITORONLY_DATA" so that it works in editor builds (and UHT).
Added an extra NAME_INDEX entry to FName to store a second string table index for a case-variant string. The previous Index value (now called ComparisonIndex) is still used for comparison purposes (as FNames are still case-insensitive).
The Init process for an FName now works like this:
1) It will find or add a string table entry for the given string (not matching case) - this entry index is stored in ComparisonIndex.
2) It will then compare the string table entry string against the given string (matching case) to see if it also needs to add a case-variant entry for the FName.
3) If it does, it finds or adds a second string table entry (matching case) for the string - this entry index is stored in DisplayIndex.
Hard-coded FNames (those listed in UnrealNames.h) do not support case-variants (due to existing network replication rules for hard-coded FNames), so they skip steps 2 and 3.
I added FMinimalName, which is the same size as FName was previously. This shouldn't really be used (and as such, is deliberately awkward to make/use) as it loses the case-preserving behaviour of FName, however it was required for some things (like stats) that had a hard-coded upper limit on FName size.
I added FScriptName, which always contains the extra display index (even when WITH_CASE_PRESERVING_NAME is disabled). This is used by Blueprint bytecode, as the types used by Blueprint bytecode must be a consistent size between all build configurations.
Other changes:
- Fixed up any places that were passing an Index into the FName constructor which was supposed to take an EName.
- Some places were doing this to make the number unique when replicating an object, but this was losing the case-variant information, so I had to fix them.
- FName will now assert if the EName constructor is used with an value outside the range of hard-coded FNames.
- Ensured that assets, actors, and blueprint components could all be renamed in a way that only changed their case, and that these changes were correctly persisted.
- Added FLinkerNamePairKeyFuncs and TLinkerNameMapKeyFuncs for use with TSet and TMap.
- These allow ULinkerSave and ULinkerLoad to correctly write out case-variants for FNames, and also fixes an issue where the linker would erroneously write out duplicate string table entries for FNames which had a different number (causing package bloat).
- Bumped VER_MIN_SCRIPTVM_UE4 so that all Blueprint bytecode is recompiled using FScriptName.

TTP#335353 - EDITOR: Event and axis mapping group expansion behavior is unintuitive
Expansion state was based on the name of the action/axis mapping so when one was renamed it had no state for the new name. Added code to record the state of expansion before renaming and reset it once the mapping groups have been recreated. This required a new function adding to the IDetailGroup class so that I could record its expansion state and I also needed to be sure I only recorded the state when the commit callback actually changed something.

TTP#335363 - EDITOR: Adding new input mapping fails if None mapping exists
Changed the add function to use a similar pattern to adding mappings to an existing group. Each add will create a new numbered name from a localized base name and check to see that it hasn't already been used.
