USwitchActorFactory

The only purpose of this class is to trigger a slightly different code path within [FLevelEditorViewportClient::TryPlacingActorFromObject](API\Editor\UnrealEd\FLevelEditorViewportClient\TryPlacingActorFromObject) when dragging and dropping a SwitchActor into the viewport, so that the SwitchActor labels get sanitized by [FActorLabelUtilities::SetActorLabelUnique](API\Editor\UnrealEd\Editor\FActorLabelUtilities\SetActorLabelUnique) and don't repeatedly increment
