Please a non dynamic variant for OnComponentBeginOverlap, OnComponentEndOverlap to support captured variable

As it stands ONLY dynamic overlap event exist for shape component used heavily in collision systems. It prevents me to include captured variable and must instead rely on caching the component in a map. Captured variables is normally possible with AddUObject or AddRaw for non dynamic delegates. Complicates some scenarios. Please see to this issue.

	UPROPERTY(BlueprintAssignable, Category="Collision")
	FComponentBeginOverlapSignature OnComponentBeginOverlap;

	UPROPERTY(BlueprintAssignable, Category="Collision")
	FComponentEndOverlapSignature OnComponentEndOverlap;

Use case:

FCourageManagedHitbox* UCourageHitboxManagerRuntimeComponent::GetOrAddHitbox(
USkeletalMeshComponent* SkeletalMeshComp
, const FString& SocketName
, const FString& Name
, ECourageHitboxType Type
)
{
	auto ManagedHitbox = _Hitboxes.Find(Name);
	if (!ManagedHitbox)
	{
		ManagedHitbox = &_Hitboxes.Add(Name, FCourageManagedHitbox());		
		ManagedHitbox->ExpectedType = Type;		
		ManagedHitbox->Shape == nullptr;
		if (Type == ECourageHitboxType::Box)
		{
			ManagedHitbox->BoxShape = NewObject<UBoxComponent>(this, UBoxComponent::StaticClass(), *Name);
			ManagedHitbox->Shape = ManagedHitbox->BoxShape;
		}
		else if (Type == ECourageHitboxType::Capsule)
		{
			ManagedHitbox->CapsuleShape = NewObject<UCapsuleComponent>(this, UCapsuleComponent::StaticClass(), *Name);
			ManagedHitbox->Shape = ManagedHitbox->CapsuleShape;
		}

		ManagedHitbox->Shape->RegisterComponent();
		ManagedHitbox->Shape->AttachToComponent(SkeletalMeshComp, FAttachmentTransformRules::SnapToTargetNotIncludingScale, *SocketName);
		ManagedHitbox->Shape->SetCollisionProfileName("OverlapAll", true);
		ManagedHitbox->Shape->SetGenerateOverlapEvents(true);
		_HitboxCache.Add(ManagedHitbox->Shape, ManagedHitbox);

		if (ManagedHitbox->Shape->OnComponentBeginOverlap.IsAlreadyBound(this, &UCourageHitboxManagerRuntimeComponent::OnOverlapBegin))
		{
			ManagedHitbox->Shape->OnComponentBeginOverlap.RemoveDynamic(this, &UCourageHitboxManagerRuntimeComponent::OnOverlapBegin);
		}

		ManagedHitbox->Shape->OnComponentBeginOverlap.AddDynamic(this, &UCourageHitboxManagerRuntimeComponent::OnOverlapBegin);
	}

	return ManagedHitbox;
}

void UCourageHitboxManagerRuntimeComponent::OnOverlapBegin(
UPrimitiveComponent* OverlappedComp
, AActor* OtherActor
, UPrimitiveComponent* OtherComp
, int32 OtherBodyIndex
, bool bFromSweep
, const FHitResult& SweepResult)
{
	if(auto ManagedHitbox = _HitboxCache.FindRef(OverlappedComp))
	{
		// DO something with the corresponding hitbox
	}	
}
