Remove skinning pre/post offset functionality.
This were added in 4.26 specifically and temporarily for the MLDeformer prototype. (The public functions have always been marked as deprecated.)
MLDeformer now uses an Optimus deformer.

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.

For example, texture streaming spikes drops from 26.7ms to 16.6ms in PIE.

Providing a new flatten material with the correct texture samplers.
Retrieve texture properties from the default textures in the material (linear vs srgb, compression, vt enabled, lod group...)
Previously generated material instances are unchanged.
All MergeActor engine tests pass successfully.

* Added GroupIdenticalMeshesForBaking, which, when activated, will result in identical meshes (or mesh instances) being baked only once.
Other changes/fixes
* Always rely on the StaticMesh RenderData when retrieving mesh description for mesh merging/simplification (was the case when retrieving from a SMC, now also the case for a SM).
* For some reason, Material baking was rendering each triangle twice, but with opposite facing. Uneeded as we are rendering with backface culling disabled.

GetCurrentShaderPermutationFlags was being called which will always return the editor only data flag regardless of what platform we are cooking for which is the wrong behavior. I've changed this call to be GetShaderPermutationFlags which will check the layout parameters's flag for editor only data which will have per-platform information.
- Pass in TargetPlatform so we don't create the MaterialID as the current platform (in this case the cooker) which would be wrong.
- Pass LayoutParams to GetDependentShaderAndVFTypes so it can pass the appropriate editor only data flag into ShouldCompilePermutation.
