/**
 * The one category every data asset type of this project is filed under in the Content Browser.
 *
 * A category is a path rather than an enum entry: the asset definition a data asset type is described by
 * hands this path to the engine, the engine derives the key it groups by from the path's source string,
 * and both the Filters panel and the Add menu read that same list. Registering it with the Asset Tools
 * as well is only what the older Content Browser style needs, which still files the Add menu by the
 * EAssetTypeCategories bitmask instead of by the path.
