- Added instance data validation
- Added general load balancer for instance processing on GPU (will move to own files later)
- Added initial GPU-side write access API for GPU scene.
- Addded specialized kernel to update primitive IDs in instances when that is the only change.

- Instead, create a reference depth range with a guard band that we reuse frame to frame until we get too close to the edge, at which point we invalidate that clipmap level's cached pages (if any)
- Does not significantly affect invalidations, even when moving quickly near surfaces, since those cases would already get invalidated when those pixels moved to a different clipmap level
- Sets up for not re-copying cached VSM pages every frame

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.

Refactoring to clean up some cross-frame resource references and enable more explicit allocations if needed
Allow nanite to take an external depth buffer to write to instead of creating one internally.

- 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).

- 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

- Added LastUpdateSceneFrameNumber to Instance data
- Added GetGPUSceneFrameNumber() to access View.FrameNumber or GPU-Scene specific GPUSceneFrameNumber
- Moved GPUScene class to GPUScene.h
- Moved logic to add/remove instance data to GPU scene to class memebers.
- Added functions in FVirtualShadowMapArrayCacheManagerto invalidate footprints of removed or moved instances before GPU scene update.
- Render to virtual shadow map now invalidates as dynamic the footprint of any cluster that had LastUpdateSceneFrameNumber == GetGPUSceneFrameNumber()

[CL 14179043 by Ola Olsson in ue5-main branch]
- Remove virtual shadow cascades path and enable clipmaps instead
- Restore full resolution dense shadow maps even when virtual shadow maps are enabled. Combine dense and virtual shadow maps in the screen space shadow mask during projection.
- Remove "copy to fallback" path for virtual shadows; to be replaced by a separate explicit fallback map or similar. This will break Reverb indirect occlusion with Nanite geometry when virtual shadow maps are on for now. For functional testing, disabling virtual shadow maps will still work.
- Fix a bug with point light shadow projection matrices
- Change VirtualShadowMapId's to "int" since we set them to INDEX_NONE (-1) in a bunch of places
