Add ToggleLight class to trigger lights in radius

+ Followed UE4 tutoial on mixing C++ and Blueprints
+ https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.27/en-US/ProgrammingAndScripting/ClassCreation/CodeAndBlueprints/
+ Added an in-editor and blueprint field ToggleLight::Radius to adjust
  trigger radius
+ Made stairs light up as you walk up them
