These existed as an optimization for USelection to quickly know if an object was selected, without having to test its array. UTypedElementList has that optimization embedded, so at this point the selection annotations are just extra state to keep in-sync, and failure to do so has already lead to bugs.
This change removes them in the simplest way possible, by using a function pointer to callback into editor code from core/engine code (as core/engine cannot directly access the global selection state), though longer-term we probably want to remove IsSelected/IsSelectedInEditor from UObject and let specific systems provide that functionality if they need it (eg, AActor/UActorComponent could provide it by getting the selection set from the owner world, rather than the global state).

Content browser now hidden by default, opening tip is displayed showing you how to access it from the drawer. It can be permanently docked into the layout from there. Opening tip is never shown again
Placement browser is now closed by default
A UE4 classic layout has been added for those who want the placement browser and content browser docked by default

This was to optimize selecting groups, but we've handled this case elsewhere by just skipping the group logic if the group is already in the list of things that we've processed. This applies that approach to getting the elements to move.

This avoids repeatedly processing each actor in a group during a select/deselect operation, as once the group itself has been selected/deselected, we have by proxy processed its grouped actors too. The only caveat to that is if a selection was previously performed with SetAllowGroups set to false (not the default), but that's advanced usage and could be resolved by toggling the group selection again.

- Moved the logic for managing the offset when pasting/duplicating out of the internal Paste/DuplicateActors implementation, and instead pass the desired offset into the duplicate functions.
- Made the function for getting the list of elements to operate on for a common action more generic, and added helper functions to delete and duplicate the current selection set.
- Added a CanDuplicateElements function to UTypedElementWorldInterface.
- Implemented duplication offset for static mesh instances.

- Adjusting the Editor handling of preview platforms to not assume SM5 is the running feature level.
- Adding "bPreviewFeatureLevelIsMax" to user settings to signal if the last saved Preview Feature Level was the maximum supported by the RHI, aka the default. If this is true on load, we set the Preview Feature Level to the max supported. This is to allow situations were we go from DX12+SM6 to DX11+SM5 and back without forcing the user to change the Preview Feature Level.
- Preventing unsupported feature levels from being previewed.
- Fixing the preview button being enabled for the default feature level.
