Additional changes:
- Added warnings for users using anim state events since we want to push towards using the state node functions.
- Added support for anim nodes to show any bound functions and not have them hardcoded.
- Added base context type for FAnimExecutionContext.
- Now users can specify the string for the default binding name of a function member reference in a BP by using the "DefaultBindingName" metadata tag. This will give the functionality to avoid having the default binding name be "NewFunction" and instead use the input string from the metadata tag.

Runtime notes:
- Removes 'smart name' usage across the animation systems.
- Changed curve blending from a uniform array (sized per skeleton) to a sparse array of sorted named values. Blends and other combiners are performed using a dual iteration 'tape merge'.
- Skeleton curves are no longer guaranteed to cover all curve names that can be found at runtime.
Editor notes:
- Curve metadata (flags, bone links etc.) is still present on the skeleton, but can also now exist on a skeletal mesh
- Curve metadata (for morph targets) is still populated on import
- Curves can now be used arbitrarily at runtime
New features:
- New Find/Replace dialog that allows for batch-replacing curves and notifies across all of a project's assets
- New curve debugger tab in various Persona editors that allows for viewing curve values live. This also now allows viewing curves for specific pose watches.
- Pose watches now output curve tracks to the Rewind Debugger

[UE-168360] User can create a transition from a state into the entry state
* Relinking multiple transitions (transition nodes at once) when none of the transition nodes is selected.
* Selective relinking in case a subset of the transition nodes on a transitions are selected.
* Special case handling for transitions from entry state (they don't have a transition node connected).
* Drawing circle indicator around the arrow head in case the mouse cursor is approaching the transition.
* Hovering the arrow head of a transition highlights it by filling the circle with solid orange color and turning the arrow black.
* Ending the relink operation in empty space or the entry node will cancel the relink operation.
* Fixed bug that prevents creating new transitions ending in an entry state.

Skeleton compatibility is now bi-directional. Specifying a compatible skeleton A -> B now implies B -> A.
Skeleton compatibility is now an editor-only concern. The runtime will attempt to do the 'best it can' via name -> name mappings. Only the editor will prevent assigning incompatible skeletons in (e.g.) asset pickers etc.
Skeleton compatibility checks in editor can now be disabled in the editor preferences (and each asset picker now has a checkbox option in its view settings that allows for quick access to this).
Moves FSkeletonRemapping to its own file (which is now private).
Skeleton remappings are now generated on demand on worker threads just before animation decompression and stored in a registry, guarded by FRWScopeLock for thread-safety.
Fixed some anim BP compiler edge cases where asset references on pins were not getting preloaded correctly, causing skeletons to be erroneously reported as missing.
Exposed the current asset registry filter in SAssetView so that menu extensions can access it (and use it to provide context)

* Only nodes which have been setup to have drawable elements should be drawn when pose watched, such as 'RigidBody'.
* Anim nodes with custom edit modes should only draw their widgets when explicitly selected or override IAnimNodeEditMode::SupportsPoseWatch

* Tab filters are now applied before tab widgets before are created for animation blueprint editor instead of only when a user tries opening a new tab. This prevents disallowed tabs in default layouts being created.
* Event graph documents are not opened if event graph permissions are disabled when loading blueprint editor.
* Added new blueprint permission to optionally disable function overrides.

Removed redundant private include paths from build.cs files.
Fixed include paths to be relative to the private or public folders.
Hid or removed includes that reached into other private module folders.
Updated PublicInclude paths when necessary.

This change also added a delegate to FPersonaToolkitArgs with reference to a IDetailBuilderLayout so assets can customize the Preview Scene Settings.
