- Certain "SM5" platforms had FL SM6 requirements when being previewed.
- Adding a "PreviewFeatureLevel" to shader PreviewPlatform's to override the preview's feature level requirement.
- When changing between shader previews of the same feature level, the scene and all associated work should be reset just like when we change to a preview with a different feature level.
- During scene destruction, the VSM cache shouldn't need to process invalidations, especially since the preview shader platform has already been changed.
- Removing code that prevented switching between preview platforms that had different VSM settings.

- Can specify multiple DPs and FriendlyNames now in the PreviewPlaform sections of a DDPI.ini file (separated by comma)
- Use the FriendlyName from the DDPI.ini directly in the platform preview menus, instead of counting on the friendly name of a ShaderPlatform
- IOS DDPI.ini as an example, with 3 DPs, generic IOS (what we had before), iPhone6S and iPadPro6

- Adapted existing code to propertly support external package on object not directly outered to the level.
- Generalized handling of external objects when renaming a world, resetting package loaders in ULevelStreamingLevelInstance, handling dirty external packages
- Implemented FExternalPackageHelper::CopyObjectsExternalPackageFilePathToClipboard
- Added optional PrimaryAssetDisplayName asset registry tag to allow for systems to use a display name (generalized version of ActorLabel tag)

- Added support for up to 32 samplers to the D3D12 RHI.
- Added 'MaxSamplers' to ShaderPlatform in DataDrivenPlatformInfo, this is defaulted to 16 for all shader platforms and can be modified the the DDPI ini files. This value will set the shader compiler define 'PLATFORM_MAX_SAMPLERS'.
- Added a 'RequiredSamplersSwitch' material editor node to branch based on a given shader platform's maximum sampler count.
- To support more than 16 samplers on feature level SM5 platforms Dxc and sm6.0 are used to compile the shader. On platforms that don't support Dxc and sm6.0 the preivew menu item will be disabled.
