Updates the handling of the baking of shape asset previews to generate them with support for view angle control to improve visibility, as well as supporting overriding of a material in the preview bake

Also utilizes the updated bake handling to have material asset previews render as a sphere shape asset, overriding with the material asset's material, improving distinction of what is a material asset vs image asset
Also updates the sphere preview mesh to be more generic and not only for reflection probes
