Consolidate Assets

Consolidates an asset by replacing all references/uses of the provided AssetsToConsolidate with references to AssetToConsolidateTo. This is useful when you want all references of assets to be replaced by a single asset. The function first attempts to directly replace all relevant references located within objects that are already loaded and in memory. Next, it deletes the AssetsToConsolidate, leaving behind object redirectors to AssetToConsolidateTo.

Find Package Referencers for an asset. Only Soft and Hard dependencies would be looked for. Soft are dependencies which don't need to be loaded for the object to be used.
