What kind of change does this PR introduce?
Code API change to move to a method signature that returns an optional instead of being invoked with a pass by ref parameter that is then set.
What is the current behavior?
Method signature is generally something along the lines of:
bool TrySomething(T& outParam);
What is the new behavior (if this is a feature change)?
New method signature most of the time is now:
std::optional<T&> TrySomething()
Does this PR introduce a breaking change?
Yes this breaks the API in multiple spots but generally not for the end user yet as it's mostly isolated in engine code.
