* Final update copyright headers to reference license files at the repo root

* Fix copyright validator unit tests to support the stale O3DE header scenario

* 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.
(cherry picked from commit 86136ddfa6)
This set of changes enables conversions for singly-nested slices. Multiple nesting hierarchies are only partially supported at this point. Conversion is also significantly more deterministic, which makes it easier to convert single slices without needing to reconvert every slice or level that relies on it as well.
Changes:
- Added version of Instance::AddInstance() that takes in an alias to allow for deterministic aliases
- Added a "SliceConverterEditorEntityContextComponent" that's used to specifically disable entity activation on creation. The disabling is done this way vs adding a new public API, because the disable shouldn't be required in any normal case outside of this tool.
- Disabled more AWS gems for the SliceConverter, as they're unneeded and cause issues if they're around in the tool.
- Added a small null check to the Camera Controller.
- Added the actual support for slice instance conversion. This instantiates the entities, applies the data patches, turns them into a prefab instance, and generates a JSON patch out of the changes.
Nested slices are now detected, converted into prefabs, and the top-level prefab will get linked to the nested prefabs with the proper number of instances. However, the nested prefabs won't retain any of the slice override values or parent entity hierarchy. That will (hopefully) be added in a separate PR.
This also adds support for better relative source paths for nested prefabs. To support this, the tool now needs to connect/disconnect with the AssetProcessor to be able to turn a slice asset ID into a relative source path, so that nested templates can be looked up and converted correctly.
- Uses ToolsApplication instead of ComponentApplication so that built-in Editor components are recognized and read in correctly
- Starts up all the DynamicModules immediately so that the System Components are activated, which registers asset handlers and allows asset references to serialize in correctly
- Adds a -specialization command-line flag to specify which project specialization to use (editor, game, etc)
- Removes the filter to ignore unknown classes since they should all now be "known"
- Adds a few gem autoload flags and a null thumbnail service so that Qt and Python systems can be skipped, as they aren't needed for the data conversions and would bring additional overhead and complications
