This is the material used for debug visualization mode of the mesh paint color textures.
The material asset for this has already been submitted.

Blueprint pure nodes were initially intended to be similar to "functional pure". In other words, they're deterministic and produce no side effects (eg: doesn't mutate state). However, pure nodes have violated both conditions for a while now.
Instead, pure nodes are simply function nodes with output values and no visible exec pins. While this can be convenient, they come with a downside: the pure node is evaluated for each connected output. This can lead to unexpected performance issues if the node is expensive to evaluate. In the case of non-deterministic nodes, this can lead to unexpected behavior. In both cases, the user often needs to cull multiple outputs of a pure node and cache the result manually.
The solution here is to add support for toggling purity at the call site. When a function node is placed, right-clicking on it and selecting either "Hide Exec pins" or "Show Exec Pins" will toggle purity. Additionally, the meaning of BlueprintPure and the "Pure" check box changes slightly: it now means that the function node _defaults_ to a pure state when placed in a graph. However, it can be toggled to show its exec pins.
In future changes, we'll also reevaluate which common library functions should continue to default as pure.

StructUtilsTestSuite has been moved to Developper
StructUtilsEditor has been moved to Engine/Editor
NetSerialization for FInstancedStruct not using native serialization has been moved to the engine module since FRepLayout is not available in CoreUObject module.
Old plugins and modules are kept temporarily and will be remove in a different CL
Temporary header files added to facilitate transition to the new include path

- Currently disabled by the macro ENABLE_MATERIAL_LAYER_PROTOTYPE until we have a fully fleshed out system to enable.
- Implemented 2 new Substrate nodes: Get and Set attributes. Get allows the embedding of a Front Material with general Material Attributes for passing between functions, and Set splits the Material Attributes back into Front Material and Non-Substrate attributes. These are not strictly for use in Layering. This allows the Material Attributes including Substrate data to pass between Layers and Blends smoothly.
- Changed the autopopulation of Layer and Blend function material graphs to utilise the Get and Set attributes nodes. Non Substrate Attributes continue to pass through the legacy blend node, which only supports Horizontal blending. The Front Material is now separated and passes through the Substrate Horizontal Mixing node. This all occurs via a new engine level Blend Material Function MLB_Horizontal.
- Created update paths to convert legacy material layers to utilise the new Substrate structure (automatically converts to Horizontal mixing only)
- Created these structures using the "MaterialFunctionUsage" flags at the Function level -> This will ensure the ability to create contextual re-use of material functions regardless of whether they are marked layer or not.
- Altered the Preview functionality of Blend nodes so the expected output is clearer (uses the Input's embedded PreviewValue). Created a static default substrate slab creator function which supports this with any override color.
- Changed the colour of the Substrate utility nodes to match Substrate
