ryan schmidt b4814d732d ApproximateActors: reduce memory footprint by using compressed or lower-resolution LOD0 meshes
- add FStaticMeshLODResourcesAdapter in MeshConversions module, wrapper that presents StaticMesh LODResources mesh (ie Section buffers) with an API compatible with GeometryCore mesh templates
- add TMeshWrapperAdapterd in GeometryCore, this is a shim for getting any template-API-compatible mesh into a FTriangleMeshAdapterd specifically (required to call some non-template mesh processing functions)

- add support for using StaticMesh LODResources meshes in FMeshSceneAdapter instead of source meshes, controlled by build options flag
- add FMeshSceneAdapter build options flags specifying whether UV/Normal queries are required (default true)
  - when not required, the loaded MeshDescriptions and created DynamicMeshes are packed into FColliderMesh which has a smaller memory footprint, allowing the larger meshes to be freed

- to support above, the SpatialWrappers in MeshSceneAdapter.cpp have been refactored extensively
  - added FCompressedMeshSpatialWrapper which Builds from a temporary FDynamicMesh3 into a FColliderMesh, supports all the same options as FDynamicMeshSpatialWrapper (so a drop-in replacement with less memory usage, but no UV/Normal queries)
  - added FBaseMeshSpatialWrapper, base class for existing FDynamicMeshSpatialWrapper and new FCompressedMeshSpatialWrapper that has shared config settings (can more more here in the future)
  - added FStaticMeshLODResourcesMeshSurfaceAdapter, similar toFMeshDescriptionTriangleMeshSurfaceAdapter, a mesh adapter that filters out any geo that doesn't have a Surface-domain material
  - refactored TStaticMeshSpatialWrapper into TStaticMeshSpatialWrapperBase and subclasses FStaticMeshSourceDataSpatialWrapper and FStaticMeshRenderDataSpatialWrapper, for source mesh vs render mesh
  - added FCompressedStaticMeshSpatialWrapper, variant of FStaticMeshSourceDataSpatialWrapper that stores to a FColliderMesh and releases the source MeshDescription
  - SpatialWrapperFactory() now has logic to build from render mesh vs source mesh vs compressed source mesh
  - moved initial SpatialWrapper construction from AddActors() phase to Build() phase, because now it depends on build settings

- add EMeshDataSourceLODPolicy to IGeometryProcessing::FOptions, with LOD0 Source and LOD0 RenderMesh options
- ApproximateActorsImpl now provides/handles this policy setting, and configures FMeshSceneAdapter to not need UV/Normal queries (not required in this context)
- add bUseRenderLODMeshes option in FMeshApproximationSettings to expose render vs source mesh control at user level
