Add bActive with smooth blend and auto-activation to all 3 AnimNode components

- Posture, FacialExpression, LipSync: bActive + ActivationBlendDuration for
  smooth alpha blend in/out (linear interp via FInterpConstantTo).
- Auto-activation: components bind to OnAgentConnected/OnAgentDisconnected,
  starting inactive and blending in when conversation begins.
- Without an agent component, bActive defaults to true (backward compatible).
- Add BlueprintFunctionLibrary with SetPostProcessAnimBlueprint helper
  (wraps UE5.5 SetOverridePostProcessAnimBP for per-instance BP setup).
