- Added early check before creating a TargetPlatform object if the PlatformInfo will be found (check a static function to see if it's usable before making it)
- Changed each platform's GetTargetPlatform[s] function

- This feature allows different chunk layout on different platforms.
- Most mapping work is done in AssetRegistryGenerator.
- Terminology of ChunkID and Pakchunk Index are now separated and they are no longer the same if chunk id to pakchunk index mapping is defined. The ChunkIDs in FAssetData is not renamed to keep consistency, but it actually is pakchunk index. FAssetData.ChunkIDs is used for ChunkInstall.
- Chunks with encryption key guid or unique assetregistry name are not allowed to be mapped. There are code to filter out those chunks and log errors while initializing mapping
- CheckChunkAssetsAreNotInChild() and ResolveChunkDependencyGraph() is skipped when making build for XboxOne and PS4, since they are not needed. If for some reason, we need chunk dependency on console builds, we need to implement per-platform dependency graph, since now we support different chunk layout on different platforms.
- Disabled a few pak file overide rules for console builds, since they should only be applied to builds with Kairos chunk layout.
#test A preflight was kicked and tested on PS4 and XboxOne. No new issue was found.

- Deprecated a bunch of old function calls
- Improved pak file "old format" reading ability
- Brought over some changes from Fortnite for pak file encryption and memory savings
- Implemented a parallel compression pull request (#4129) to speed up pak file compression
