- Added bComputeFastLocalBounds: when set, the component will use its current bounds transformed back into local space instead of calling CalcBounds with an identity transform.
- Added bComputeBoundsOnceDuringCook: when set, this component will cache its bounds during cooking and never recompute it for cooked builds. This is for components that are known to be static.
- Set both of theses flags automatically to all HLODs components; this greatly reduce the cost of recomputing bounds for HLODs (GT and RT).

* An HLOD actor can use the "Location" grid placement if all it's source are using this placement option.
* Properly accessing grid placement of source actors using the actor desc view

Supports either:
* From texel density
* From expected mesh screen size
* From expected mesh draw distance
Compute best texture size, taking UV map waste into account.
Currently only supported by the Approximate Actors merge method, to be integrated in the ProxyLOD later.

* Moved duplicated code that was constructing a IGeometryProcessing_ApproximateActors::FOptions from a FMeshApproximationSettings to FApproximateActorsImpl::ConstructOptions()
* Added mesh generation options
** bAllowDistanceField - on by default
** bSupportRayTracing - on by default
** bGenerateLightmapUVs - off by default
* Disable creation of physics body for HLOD
* Scale texture size based on grid promotion (higher z grid index -> higher area covered) - Only temporary, will probably switch to a texel density option instead

* Use the global engine DefaultHLODFlattenMaterial, which expects virtual textures
* Propagate newly added mesh merge options to the IGeometryProcessing_ApproximateActors::FOptions struct
* Added "EmissiveHDRTexture" texture nodes and "UseEmissiveHDR" options to both FlattenMaterial & FlattenMaterial_VT - will be used by the Actor Approx. HLODs

This was being included in a header that is included throughout the engine, resulting in any changes to UInstancedStaticMeshComponent triggering an extensive build (2,500-3,000 actions).
After this change it only triggers a build of ~140 actions (EngineTest).
Code that was relying on this implicit include has been updated to include the header if required.
