SP3-170 SP3-238 Restructured asset and asset loading library types to be derived from common base class.

Storage of assets and loaders based on pointers. 

Created general templated calls to get data from asset manager based on asset type passed in as template argument. 

More concise internal interface when loading and storing assets with libraries
