DxcCreateBlob apparently force adds this on creation of strings, so we need to account for that when creating a view of the result.

- add support to shaderconductor to load shader source from a FAnsiStringView
- remove internal string conversion helpers in favour of using FAnsiString
- don't make copies of input strings if they are provided in ANSI format

- add FShaderSource class which wraps source as populated by preprocessing and subsequently accessed by compilation and other debug features; this class automatically inserts zeroed padding such that 16-byte-wide SIMD string comparison operations do not require a non-SIMD tail to process any overhang.
- add typedefs for the string/view/character types and update preprocessing code to use these typedefs instead of the explicit types
- add explicit if constexprs in minifier code around char width to disable simd optimizations for char width != 2 (and subsequently skip the non-simd tail if char width == 2 since FShaderSource automatically adds the required padding)

-Add a new define to wrap the output semantic that we want to be post declare as precise.
-Modify DXC-SIRV to add the NoContraction decorator on precise output semantics.
-Modify spirv_glsl to post declare as precise output semantics
-Example: out precise float4 gl_positon; will add precise gl_position; post declaration.

[CL 29338529 by serge bernier in ue5-main branch]
- Avoid explicit FMA instructions in platform-specific GLSL to let backend-compiler decide when to use them.
- Fix code refelction when using SPIR-V directly with backend-compiler.
- Define preset of SPIR-V optimization passes to reduce nested expressions "preset(relax-nested-expr)".

* Major define optimization involves converting map of defines to use FName keys and variant values rather than strings -- this eliminates most of the cost of string hashing, allocation, and conversion.
* Lower overhead FHashTable used instead of TMap.
* An initial map of defines can optionally be provided globally. Anything using an initial define can have its map index cached for optimized lookup when reading or writing.
Other micro-optimizations:
* Added Reserve calls for uniform buffer related maps, to eliminate map resizing / rehashing. Saved around 15% perf (after define optimizations).
* Added a map for UB lookup, instead of iterating through the linked list. Saved around 10% perf.
Non-optimization: Sort the order in which uniform buffer variable names are searched in BuildShaderFileToUniformBufferMap, to create determinism in ShaderDebug data for A/B testing (previously order was dependent on global constructor order for UB definitions, which could vary arbitrarily with unrelated changes).

- Support structured buffers in HLSL backend of SPIRV-Cross (PR #2143).
- Integrate SPIRV-Cross fix to forward opaque types in GLSL backend (PR #2110).
- Integrate SPIRV-Cross fix to use actual field offset to validate vec4 boundary alignment (#PR 2139).
- Integrate SPIRV-Cross fix to not restrict SV_RenderTargetArrayIndex to GS and MS (#PR 2138).
- Make SV_Position decoration as implicitly invariant optional (Used to address Z-fighting issues in Vulkan and Metal; Drastically impacts vertex shader performance on certain platforms).
- Don't force DXC for all shaders when r.Substrate is enabled.

- each platform compilation request is now wrapped in __try/__except rather than a single exception handling block at the top level of the worker; this allows us to log an exception (with callstack) as a compilation error and continue the batch
- remove SEH code from ShaderConductorContext, the above makes this redundant (and it didn't provide any actionable information)
- strip down SEH code in D3DShaderCompiler; now only used for the purposes of pre-compiling with DXC in the case of an FXC crash. dumping preprocessed source will be handled in a different manner in a forthcoming CL
- minor change in the DXC precompile path to not log an unnecessary warning when performing an explicitly-requested DXC precompile
