Platform Release v0.27.0

[connorjak]

This is copy pasted from the SimDynamX internal repository, so most or all of the links here will be broken.

Most notable changes since 0.26.2:

• Tabbed Gadgets - UI Refactor
  • Replaced Static gadgets with Slots which can take many tabs of gadgets at a time
  • use Gadgets dropdown on the top bar to drag and drop new gadgets into left and right slots
• Rotation fix (again) for transforming rotation from a frame to a parent frame
• Project Management UI on main title menu lets users manage local assets git repos, and open that directory
• Many C++ functions given Python API bindings
• During sim start, entities are updated in the SpaceCRAFT unreal client with information after the System::load() function calls happen. This fixes a few issues with things such as Spicy-moved planets being in the wrong location on the first tick in SpaceCRAFT.
• Many changes and additions for STUniversity Lunar SAR Competition
