Trying to open PhysX material leads to crash about o3de HOT 5 CLOSED

It turns out this issue is a sympton related to #17700. This root cause of the issue is that physxmaterial is not registered as an asset type, because the AssetProcessorGemConfig.setreg was not being processed by the builders. This PR will resolve this issue.

Need to mention that you can just create any physx material using Asset Editor, the bounce.zip is just for easier reproduction.
To me it happens every time - I can only create physx material in AssetEditor once then I have to edit it using text editor (which is not nice as it is hard to guess some values).

I'm hitting this issue as well on commit 0f95546.

I noticed that Asset Editor is not working properly with PhysX Material. This is the behaviour I'm encountering:

• Asset Editor can create a PhysX Material fine, but after the initial save it won't work anymore.
• Subsequent modifications and resavings won't modify the file at all.
• When closing the physics material and then reopening using "File > Recents" it'll either crash or open it with no properties.
• When doing "File > Open..." none of the Physics Materials files are listed.

Thanks @spham-amzn, I've got your fix locally and tested it. The first 3 points from my comment are fixed, but the last one is still happening unfortunately, Asset Editor "File > Open..." now lists the Physics Material already existing, but it won't list the Physics Material just created, oddly a restart of the Editor is necessary to pick it up (which is very inconvenient).

Steps:

• Open Editor
• Open Asset Editor
• File > New > PhysX Material
• File > Save with name Test. I saved it in my projects Assets folder: C:\Users\USER\.o3de\Projects\PROJECT\Assets
• Close the PhyX Material
• File > Open...

Expected:
The PhysX Material Test is listed so it can be opened

Current behaviour (with #17710):
The PhysX Material Test is not listed. It is processed by the Asset Processor though. After restarting the editor, open Asset Editor, File > Open... the PhysX Material Test does appear.

I reproduced it on Linux, but also noticed that it will open if you do File -> Open Recent. It may be an issue with asset browser dialog.
