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

Included features in this changelist:
* Capture a snapshot of common movement properties (velocity, speed, etc) that are used to drive animation
* Character movement component for stop/pivot location
* Library of anim node functions for Distance Matching
* Template anim node that can advance by distance traveled rather than by time
* Template anim node that's driven by distance to a target rather than by time
* Animation modifier that generates distance curves based on root motion
* Turn in place functionality for keeping the capsule from spinning the pose when it rotates by applying an offset, includes functionality for turn on spot animations to compenstate for the offset
