GAS PlayMontageAndWait: Server applies root motion with wrong scale at last montage tick

User reported: when playing an AnimMontage via GameplayAbility with the PlayMontageAndWait ability task that has a custom value for AnimRootMotionTranslationScale, (dedicated) servers can apply an incorrect, already-reset scale value on the last tick of the anim montage playback.

Specifically, this happens when the character's SkeletalMeshComponent is configured as:

VisibilityBasedAnimTickOption = OnlyTickMontagesWhenNotRendered 

meaning animation shouldn't be ticked if the skel mesh isn't rendered, except for montages. This activates a code path in USkeletalMeshComponent::TickAnimation() that dispatches animation events immediately:

if (ShouldOnlyTickMontages(DeltaTime))
{
    ConditionallyDispatchQueuedAnimEvents();
} 

while otherwise the animation events are dispatched on next USkeletalMeshComponent::TickComponent(). Dedicated servers likely enter this code path since they don't render skeletal meshes to begin with.

This results in a wrong root motion translation scale being applied when this is triggered by, and happens mid-UCharacterMovementComponent::TickCharacterPose().

In ThirdPersonExample:

• Create an AnimMontage targeting the mannequin that plays an AnimSequence that has EnableRootMotion = true. (For example: modify the Land anim sequence to enable root motion).
• Create a GameplayAbility with a PlayMontageAndWait node that plays that montage. Set the AnimRootMotionTranslationScale argument to 0.5. Set the GA's NetExecutionPolicy to Server Initiated.
• Prepare to trigger that GA for the player character on the server. For example in the character blueprint: create an input event that calls a server RPC that then calls AbilitySystemComponent->GiveAbilityAndActivateOnce
• In the character blueprint, select the CharacterMesh skel mesh comp and set its 

VisibilityBasedAnimTickOption = OnlyTickMontagesWhenNotRendered 

• Put a breakpoint on this line in UAbilityTask_PlayMontageAndWait::OnMontageBlendingOut

Character->SetAnimRootMotionTranslationScale(1.f); 

• Start PIE with server + client. Activate the ability from the client. This should trigger the above breakpoint on the server with the callstack listed for this bug.
• Observe: If this callstack is hit, we are inside UCharacterMovementComponent::TickCharacterPose() which will continue to apply one tick of root motion with the already reset translation scale of 1.0, instead of the desired 0.5.
• Expected: This last tick of root motion should also be applied with a translation scale of 0.5, or whichever value was set on the PlayMontageAndWait node.
