Description

FBX assets originally imported in 5.7 lose their "Combine Static Meshes" import setting when reimported in 5.8. In 5.8 "Combine Static Meshes" was changed from a bool to 3-way enum, and the old bool choice from 5.7 is not moved into the 5.8 enum. The result for end users is that reimport fails in 5.8. I beleive the issue would also affect `bImportCollision_DEPRECATED`

Steps to Reproduce
  1. In 5.7 fbx interchange importer
  2. Import "MyCubes.fbx" with `Combine Static Meshes` set to True
  3. Open the same project in 5.8
  4. Open the "Reimport with Dialog" options in 5.8
  5. Observe that the `Combine Static Meshes` is set to "Do Not Combine Static Meshes"
  6. Expected that it would be set to "Combine All"
