* Moved default flatten material to config
* Default is now to use VT for HLOD

- Added PercentageUnusedShaderCompilingThreads which defaults to 50%. This means shader compilation will reserve 50% of your available cores so your machine is more responsive.
- Added ShaderCompilerCoreCountThreshold, which defaults to 12, which is a threshold that controls what heuristic is used to determine unused threads. If you are 12 or less you use the old behavior of reserving 3 threads. If you are greater than 12 you reserve threads based on the percentage (50% by default).

In a previous change TraceAux::Initialize was moved to a point very early in process lifetime. At this point the config system is not ready, so resolving data driven channel presets does not work. To solve this we make two changes, define two presets in code (default and memory) which require very early application, and add a second pass of channel initialization which is executed directly after config system is up.

- Adjusting the Editor handling of preview platforms to not assume SM5 is the running feature level.
- Adding "bPreviewFeatureLevelIsMax" to user settings to signal if the last saved Preview Feature Level was the maximum supported by the RHI, aka the default. If this is true on load, we set the Preview Feature Level to the max supported. This is to allow situations were we go from DX12+SM6 to DX11+SM5 and back without forcing the user to change the Preview Feature Level.
- Preventing unsupported feature levels from being previewed.
- Fixing the preview button being enabled for the default feature level.
