- FUniqueBuffer has been added as a single-ownership mutable buffer.
- FSharedBuffer remains a shared-ownership buffer and is now always immutable. In addition to the factory functions that were available previously, it can be also be created by moving FUniqueBuffer.
- FSharedBuffer is now used directly rather than requiring several pointer and reference types.
- FWeakSharedBuffer has been added as a weak reference to a shared buffer, in place of the previous weak pointer types.
- FBufferOwner has been promoted out of FSharedBuffer and can be used for advanced buffer management, including lazy buffer materialization where allocating and/or populating the buffer may be deferred until the buffer is accessed.

Create a new interface IPackageResourceManager that handles all attempts to load packages from storage. The default implementation passes through to loading from IFileManager. Future implementations will load from other services such as the EditorDomain and TargetDomain.
Add FPackagePath class that holds a LocalFilePath or LongPackageName, or a relative path to a package under a mounted content root (which can be converted into either the LocalFilePath or LongPackageName).
Modify LinkerLoad, BulkData, and AsyncLoader to use FPackagePath and IResourceManager.
Modify UPackage and FLinkerLoad to have a FPackagePath instead of a Filename.
