while it still remains a good idea to port as many NULL compares and assignments over to nullPtr as feasable, we do still need to sort out how to better support scripted empty, false, and zero assigns for things like objectIDs.
this means we'll need to both fully convert the backend of the parser to support that kind of thing, but also alter most if not all exisiting NULLs. up to and including things like SAFE_DELETE. while that's certainly feasable, given there's aproximatel 400 nullptr assigns/checks prior to this commit, and roughly 1800 of the prior, if it terminates in a script call and not an aip one direct, we'll be dialing that back until such time as fork fully fopcused on converting and resolving any lingering mismatches is completed.
add reloading state to asset tracking,
convert most asset.isnull() checks on over to skipping out unless the errcode is ::Ok, or ::UsingFallback
add more errstriongcodes to hook up
skip load<type> execution if the asset loaded state is ::Ok

Processed core, tools and default modules to utilize assets
Converted all console types that were string based, such as TypeImageFilename to utilize const char*/the string table, which avoids a lot of type swapping shenanigans and avoids string corruption
Removed unneeded MainEditor mockup module
Removed some unused/duplicate image assets from the tools
1) add sdl token for referencing the parent directory of the aplication bundle when determining the root dir
2) shape and mateiral asset macro corrections for a few stray ## redundencies (space, ->, . ect are all conidered token sperators in and of themselves)
Adds handling for finding material asset akin to shape and image assets
Updates the material asset inspector field to follow the current standard
Updates prototyping material assets to correctly have materialDefinitionName assigned
Fixed material asset import step to properly assign materialDefinitionName
Fixed typo in material editor icon name
Added logic to editAsset function call so it can also parse assetIds

Added ability to create an AssetImportObject in script and add it to the Importer's current session
Ensured stable naming behavior(replacing spaces, -, and . in names with _
Improved getAssetTypeByFile logical lookup so it doesn't accidentally grab cached.dts files
Added ability to hard reset an import session, wiping all inbound files for a full reset
Added ability to process DTS files to shape import so it can parse out content such as materials for associated asset imports
Added better handling for shape materials that are just colors
Added callback hook-in so if the importer doesn't have a defined function for importing a given asset type, it'll try calling down into the editor
Stabilized imageAsset processing logic when generating a material for it
Improved imageType lookup/processing logic in Importer

Added ability to properly look up the editor's default import config if it's set to be used for autoimport
Improved handling of originalFilePath logic, so if it's an in-place import, it doesn't bother populating the field
Set default UP axis value on shape importing to ensure better default behavior
