Use actor label for light identification/selection in editor; fall back on component name (UUID) temporarily until this data is made available outside the editor as well
Collect debug data in RayState for SMRT and return the last valid sample data
- Alternative is to always generate debug data based on just a single VSM sample even when SMRT is enabled, but it's useful to have a debug output path for the true SMRT data, even if a bit more complex
Move some common visualization utilities to /Visualization.ush
Implement but disable backface culling for shadow evaluation pending change that handles various SHADINGMODEL's properly

Clean up VSM HZB by moving to previous frame data and removing redundantly exported previous frame page table.
For view contexts with VSM caching "show flag" disabled, also disable HZB so we aren't leaking HZB references out of these graphs either.

- Adaptive ray counts for SMRT now work even with pass per light
- Removes a few divergences between the logic in the two paths
Remove debug projection stuff for now; will reimplement with a separate UAV write later
Remove temporal filtering for denoiser (it was broken and would need to be implemented slightly differently with the new path anyways)
Split cvar to allow separate denoiser toggle for directional (default on) and local (default off) lights
Enable SMRT for local lights and VSM caching by default

- Move VSM parameters into a single uniform buffer; required for base pass rendering.
- SRVs are initialized to dummy data until they are computed during the frame and subsequently updated before any VSM sampling.
- Make names and usage more consistent with other UB bindings in mesh passes
- Direct injection of VSM into translucent volume and fog
- Support VSM sampling in forward lighting shaders
- Enabled and bound currently for translucent forward and single pass water meshes
- Support VSM sampling in sky atmosphere and cloud rendering
- NOTE: Sky atmosphere LUT pass currently executes before BasePass and ShadowDepths so it will not sample proper data and throw a warning. Moving passes around to address this will come in a future commit.

- added a path to propagate and cache whether material modifies position (WPO) to enable invalidating cached pages (touches whole mesh command pipeline).
- added pixel shader verision of page copying & clearing.
- also added flag for whether cached the mesh draw command supports primitive id (which enables checing this earlier).

- Levels are now strictly pow2 sizes and snap to half their size (instead of internal page boundaries).
- Propogate mips propgates along clipmap levels instead of mips for directional lights
- Provide a O(1) lookup for clipmaps as well that will fall back to coarser data. Do not use it by default for current opaque shading where we know by construction where the mapped pages are.
Still some minor cleanup and optimization possible to come in a future commit.

- All non-nanite VSM code is wrapped in ENABLE_NON_NANITE_VSM define (on by default if GPUCULL_TODO is on)
- Added FProjectedShadowInfo with setup to gather primitives for clipmap VSM
- Added RenderVirtualShadowMapsHw to FVirtualShadowMapArray to draw into the VSM
- Shadow depth Vertex shader contains logic to route the instances to pages and uses clip distance to clip to page boundary
- Added culling shaders to replicate instances for each overlapped page

- Disabled by defaul to start. Enable with r.Shadow.v.SMRT.RayCountDirectional 1
- Denoiser will now use temporal reprojection when SMRT is enabled (disable with r.Shadow.v.Denoiser.Temporal 0)
- Variety of fixes and refactors to existing VSM and projection code
- Still a few edge cases that will be improved in future around screen space trace and similar, but working fairly robustly for reasonable light source size settings
