Added the capacitity to the AssetImportData to resolve a source file name without a loaded package.
This also fixes the issues where the editor is not able to find the source file during a reimport or simply navigating to that file via the content browser.

AssetDefinition - Working on the asset definitions for blueprints/class types, iterating on the Merge API. Bringing over more of the blueprint features into its asset definition, unregistered the Blueprint AssetType Actions.
Asset Filters - We now support categories per filter, this enables a single asset definition to correctly specify multiple filters. For example, blueprints actually supply 4 filters, one for blueprints, but also blueprint interfaces, macros and function libraries.

AssetDefinition - Changing how getting the SourceFiles works a bit, wanted it to be easier to just get the real data and not have to wrap it myself, and also to not need to needlessly put it into a container if it's not needed.

AssetDefinition - Fixing a regression where we needed to load assets on right click to check a 'can we create a blueprint from this asset' option.
AssetDefinition - Making the dynamic entries for GetAssetActions nameless so that they don't stomp eachother on accident.

Several amounts of effort went into the newer design of UAssetDefinition to make it easier to change over time, more things are structs now for input and output so additional parameters can be added.
AssetDefinition module is an editor module instead of being a developer module.
AssetDefinition does not include a myraid of things it shouldn't such as the blueprint module and UnrealEd.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
AssetDefinition - This is the seed of a long term replacement of IAssetTypeActions. IAssetTypeActions is woefully inadiquit now. It puts a lot of functionality in one place, which wouldn't be a terrible thing, except for the GetActions, and some of the menu stuff being built into this class. We need to make an effort to not have to load every single asset just to open the context menu you have selected, to-wit, a previous CL made it so that summoning the menu no longer *Had* to load the assets, however several remaining issues remained with the Blueprint Utility Actions, and the fact that we don't "KNOW" if we need to call GetActions for an asset. We could introduce a replacement in the class, but that would just get inherited, causing other issues. So instead the parallel UObject based AssetDefinition now exists. In large part it will probably be very similar to the other one, but several things in it probably need to chnage. For now there is a bridging concept in the form of the AssetDefinitionAssetTypeProxy.
