Implement function BP rename handling on a per-node basis, similar to existing variable rename handing
Move to using FBlueprintEditorUtils::GetMostUpToDateClass for property access in-editor. This ensures that any local renames are picked up prior to recompilation.

Skeletons are no longer dirtied when adding notifies and sync markers from animation timelines.
Skeletons can still hold sync markers and notifies, but they are not mandatory and they can all be held in animation assets if required.
'Find References' for notifies and sync markers now launches the find/replace dialog when selected from the animation timeline.
Removing notifies and sync markers from the skeleton now does only that. To remove from animations, use the find/replace tab.
Updated BP node spawning for anim notifies to use a custom spawner, correctly use the asset registry, apply filtering and context sensitivity and move some of the code out of BlueprintGraph.
Added icons to distinguish sync markers/notifies in the editing tab.
Updated notify editing tab filtering to allow users to filter items from 'this' skeleton, compatible skeletons or other assets.
Additionally fixed up icons for some Persona tabs that were incorrect.

"final" was an UnrealScript concept that never made it into Blueprints. Currently, it's synonymous with the CallParentFunction node. Instead of using this flag, we can simply check the node type directly.
We still might want to revisit this for Blueprints, but we likely won't use this bool.

Improves "Find References" in blueprints: now supports function search by [class, function] call-sites and definitions rather than a generic search for function name. Replaces the "Find References" context menu action with a sub-menu for variables and functions in BlueprintEditor, WidgetBlueprintEditor, SubobjectEditor and SubobjectEditor. That context sub-menu has 'By Name' and 'By Class Member' search options and local+global versions of both.
Made changes to Find-in-Blueprints metadata that is generated per blueprint asset to be able to do "specific function of a specific class" type queries; some search types were unsupported with previous metadata. Incremented the EFiBVersion so that the Find-in-Blueprints search window will ask to re-index all blueprints and resave. Added an opt-out editor setting "Allow Index All Blueprints" (default: true) to disable the button, which can be decided per project. Added an action in the Find-in-Blueprints modal when outdated metadata is detected to export the list of affected assets.

Blueprint autoconversions normally work by checking pairs of linked pins and inserting cast nodes. However, default literal values on nodes aren't linked, so they must be treated differently.
Since default values aren't linked, we need to check the old and new pin types during rewiring. We can't do this during validation stage since we've forgotten the old pin type by that point. Additionally, we should prevent any sort of data loss when handling the default values. The safest way to do so is:
1. Create a literal node from the old type.
2. Create a conversion node between the old and new type.
3. Link the nodes to the pin that has the default value.
The drawback to this technique is that it inserts nodes, but it's safer than directly modifying the default value on the new pin (eg: "1.1" could end up as "1"). We still provide a note that nodes were inserted, which gives the developer the choice of how to handle the conversion change.

(Resubmit: added check for "multiple self" connections. Even though the types mismatch, we permit these connections.)
The previous attempt to add automatic conversion nodes (24029327) had a flawed design: checking pin connections during rewiring might have an incomplete view of the types of the linked pins.
For example, suppose we have two native, BlueprintCallable functions. One returns a float, and the other accepts a single float. In a Blueprint, we have the output of one linked to the input of the other.
Later, we update both functions to use ints. During rewiring of the function with the return value, it might see that its connection is a float (because that node hasn't been rewired yet). As a result, it'll insert a cast node. Subsequently, when we later rewire the function with the input, it'll see that it's connected to a float, because of the recently inserted cast node. This will add yet another cast node. Since both pin types are the same, there shouldn't be any cast nodes to begin with.
The only safe way to insert cast nodes is after node construction has finished. Instead of handling this during rewiring, we can defer the type checking to early validation. Overall, this simplifies the autoconversion since we just need to iterate over pairs of pins, check for type mismatches, and insert cast nodes where appropriate.
This change effectively reverts CLs 24174262, 24029327, 24218437, and 25444139, and moves the type checking logic to EarlyValidation.

Add a small bug fix to it. When attempting to create an auto-cast node from an Interface -> Object type, the UEdGraphSchema_K2::FindSpecializedConversionNode will NewObject whatever node type is required as a template to copy. This Template node does not have a parent graph (rightfully so) which means that the call to GetSchema would return null. When this happened with a Dynamic Cast node, it was checking on the schema being available in the SetPurity function where it was not before.
We don't want to set the parent graph on the template node during conversion because that isn't accurate because its a dummy template node, not something that is actually on the graph. It would also be adding references to that parent graph unnecessarily.

Fix potential crash when `bFavorPureCastNodes` is enabled.
`K2Node_Message` attempted to create an impure cast node when expanded, but `SetPurity(false)` had no effect in this case because inside it `IsNodePure` returned `false` even if the default cast purity was `Pure`. It resulted in the creation of a pure node, causing a crash because the Message node attempted to work with its (non-existent) exec pins.
