Removed the camera zero code from the thumbnail generator, as the camera is set by the scene now.

- Redirecting material expressions in BaseEngine.ini
- Optimizing Length material expression for Scalar inputs by just outputting abs value which is practically free on gpu
- Modifiying UMaterialExpressionTextureSampleParameterBlur, Kernel size should be an enum instead of a float

-Moving much of engine/source/runtime/headmounteddisplay to a plugin mainly to reduce minimum UE executable size and memory use. But this is also nice for organization. The ideal would be to move everything except interfaces used by core engine. VREditor pulling in UMotionControllerComponent is the main blocker at this time. That dependency is expected to go away eventually at which point we can do the rest of this transfer.
-Added dependencies to XRBase plugin or module as necessary, refactored to avoid some dependencies, removed a few unnecessary dependencies.
-Stripped vestigial VR references from a few project templates. Mostly just unused HeadMountedDisplay module refs, but a tiny bit of code from TP_Puzzle.
-Fixed dependency cycle ignores related to MaterialShaderQualitySettings PIEPreviewDeviceProfileSelector and UnrealEd. For reasons I do not understand the HeadMountedDisplay dependency on AugmentedReality was preventing the detection of those, long existent, cycles.

No implementation for Unix because we don't/can't record dumps outside of crash scenarios there.
No implementation for Mac at this time.

Also changed the driver warning message box to say that the version specified in the ini is the minimum required, rather than "recommended", since that was causing confusion. We want people to use the latest driver as much as possible; the version we suggest is just the earliest without known bugs.

* NetObjectGridFragmentLocFilter for objects with tagged locations
* NetObjectGridWorldLocFilter for objects that get their location via the FWorldLocations manager

Notes:
- For Find-in-Blueprints, this defaults to off (legacy behavior). It can be toggled on via a project's DefaultEditor.ini, trading a potentially faster asset scan for a possible single-frame hitch at the end of the scan (depending on total BP asset count, it may or may not be noticeable).
- For Blueprint namespaces, we always defer (the cost is relatively small enough for it to not be noticeable to just process on completion).
