only instantiate the connected glove once instead of recreating and destroying it every frame

 ### Fixed
 
+- Fix a bug inside both SGVirtualHandComponent and SGWristTrackerComponent where the connected glove's UObject instance gets destroyed and re-instantiated every frame. With this fix now the glove instance will be created or destroyed only when a glove connects to or disconnects from the system.
 - Update the outdated Platform Support Matrix and its remarks section to reflect the latest status information.
 - Fix the wrong header file description sections for the header files inside <code>SenseGloveKismet/Public/SGKismet/</code>.
