Added ability to convert multiply-nested slices (#1239)

* Addressed feedback from previous PR
* Change missing entity aliases to be deterministic.
When converting slices, this helps produce the same results on multiple reconversions of the same data.
* Exposed the asset filter callback.
This allows the slice converter to specifically load nested slices as opposed to not loading *any* referenced assets.
* Added support for multiply-nested slice instance conversion.
