The EditorEntitySortComponent was relying on serialization callbacks not exposed to the JSON serializer to marshal data between its serialized state and its runtime state, which led to the outliner sort order becoming disrupted every time a prefab propagation occurs (and the component is subsequently serialized and deserialized). This change:
- Forces `PrepareSave` and `PostLoad` for `EditorEntitySortComponent` to be called at update (direct descendant added or removed) and activation time respectively while prefabs are enabled. While this could be optimized, and this logic stands to be refactored once slices are fully removed, I was unable to gather any samples in which `PrepareSave` are called in a sampling profiler in a scene with 1000 top-level entities, so I don't anticipate this introducing a meaningful performance regression in the short term.
- Disables updates in `EditorEntitySortComponent` during prefab propagation, as any detected changes do not signal authored intent at this time
- Made `GetEntityChildOrder` in `EditorEntityHelpers` work with prefabs enabled, which restores the existing "Sort: A -> Z" and "Sort: Z -> A" behaviors (which have some preexisting issues this does not fix)
- Adds a Python regression test to the Editor suite to validate this behavior - the test is currently in TestSuite_Main and not TestSuite_Main_Optimized because it requires an Editor launch with prefabs enabled, this can be fixed once AutomatedTesting is further migrated away from slices
@AMZN-daimini has a larger change that improves the JSON serialization format (https://github.com/o3de/o3de/pull/1292) which we should absolutely bring in in the future to improve the legibility of the Prefab format, but this change fixes the functionality (including saving & reloading a level and keeping a consistent order) without altering the Prefab format - this lower impact radius fix is my preference for our stabilization period.

* This set of changes is work toward allowing release builds to work with asset bundler generated bundles and legacy, non-prefab levels. This requires some other in-flight changes before this work is complete.
Updated engine seed list + fixed automated test
ComponentApplicationLifecycle has the ability to automatically register events if asked to register a handler and the event doesn't exist. This is only intended for cases where you need to register a handler early in startup before the settings registry file is loaded.
Added two new lifecycle events: One after the system entity has been activated, and one after the system interface has been created.
If you load an archive before the system entity has been activated, archive.cpp caches information about those archives until that time, so it can finish registration. This is because the serialization system and BundlingSystemComponent both need to be available to do this registration, but the bundles have to be loaded before those are initialized so that the settings registry file can be loaded.
Fixed an error were mounted pak files were searching for levels.pak and not level.pak, and not finding them. I'm pretty sure this logic doesn't do anything functional either way, but I've been testing legacy levels with this change and they work now.
Moved wildcard pak loading to where engine.pak is loaded. This is because the settings registry file that defines the IO stack to spin up must be available early in application startup, and this file must be within a mounted pak file. If you're using asset bundler generated bundles, they need to be loaded at this time so that file can be loaded.
Atom's BootstrapSystemComponent.cpp no longer initializes on AssetCatalogLoaded, and instead initializes on the ApplicationLifecycle event SystemInterfaceCreated. This is because the base assetcatalog.xml file is really just a development time concept, this file should not be used in packaged release builds, because those builds will make use of delta catalogs in each bundle loaded. The asset catalog contains the list of all assets that were in the cache at development time, and this contains content that developers don't want to ship, and they may want to specifically hide from their customers, so data miners don't find secrets about upcoming game content.

* Removed a test that uses old assets that aren't relevant. We may not need this test anymore, but if we do we've backlogged a task to create a new test to cover this behavior without using old assets.

* Renamed SystemInterfaceCreated event to LegacySystemInterfaceCreated
Removed SystemEntityActivated event. Now that I have the rest of the fixes in this pull request, this new event wasn't needed, the already existing SystemComponentsActivated event does what I need.
Changed list to vector
