- Enables turning off non VSM for more cases.
- Only send primitives with dynamic relevance down the dynamic subject path.
- Optimization: cache IsNaniteProxy flag on FLightPrimitiveInteraction.
- Fix the MaxNonFarCascadeDistance calculation to not include DF cascades.
- Skip SM allocation for uncached SMs without subject primitives.
- Add flag bSupportsGPUScene to FPrimitiveSceneProxy and helper to set up EnableGPUSceneSupportFlags (also turns on bVFRequiresPrimitiveUniformBuffer)
- Add error check to make sure bSupportsGPUScene is not set unless all VFs actually supports GPU-Scene

Added UI for changing minimum residency
Decoupled imposter data allocation from root page allocation
Removed convoluted logic around a page's dependencies including itself for legacy reasons
Made streaming of imposter data optional (r.Nanite.Streaming.Imposters)

Run a compute job that packs most commonly used instance data (LocalToWorld matrix and some other bits - 80 bytes) into per-instance vertex buffer. Vertex shader does not have access to GPUScene and instead loads instance data from a per-instance vertex buffer. If it needs more primitive/instance data than available then it will load it from Primitive UB, binding unique uniform buffer and breaking auto-instancing. Pixel shader has a full access to a GPUScene
There are 3 ways how FSceneDataIntermediates gets populated
1. PrimitiveId + GPUScene (Desktop)
2. Per-Instance data + Primitive UB (Mobile)
3. Primitive UB (auto-instancing disabled)
Details for GPUScene specific vertex inputs and access to FSceneDataIntermediates are hidden behind a macro:
VF_GPUSCENE_DECLARE_INPUT_BLOCK
VF_GPUSCENE_GET_INTERMEDIATES
FSceneDataIntermediates is now stored in FVertexFactoryIntermediates, FMaterialVertexParameters. Added a few GetPrimitiveData() overloads that allows you to access PrimitiveData depending on current context. Removed most of the cases where GetPrimitiveData() gets used with PrimitiveId.

- 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.

[CL 16628550 by ola olsson in ue5-release-engine-test branch]
* Moved Nanite resource ID and hierarchy offset back to primitive data (indirection cost is largely noise these days, and memory savings is more important - GetInstanceData() fetches this data and stores in the pre-existing registers so all the callsites don't have to worry about it).
* Removed FNaniteInfo from FPrimitiveInfo (and the type itself) in favor of just having a 32bit per-instance hierarchy root offset. Hierarchy offset and runtime resource ID just sourced from primitive.
* Removed PrimitiveID from CPU instance data (GPU still needs it). This value was redundantly stored per-instance, and now the GPU Scene upload just blits it over from primitive when the instance data is uploaded.
* Added new virtual GetNaniteResourceInfo on FPrimitiveSceneProxy that retrieves the Nanite resource ID and hierarchy offset stored on a given primitive (needed now that FPrimitiveInstance doesn't cache a copy). The non-virtual FPrimitiveSceneProxy::IsNaniteMesh() helper is used to avoid this virtual function call for non-Nanite proxies.
* Removed deprecated and no longer referenced Nanite::FResources array on FNaniteGeometryCollectionSceneProxy
* Removed expensive per-instance checks() in a few spots
* Stubbed out upcoming per instance payload allocator offset
* Removed deprecated and never referenced non-GPUScene GetInstanceData uniform buffer path
* Significantly cleaned up and optimized a lot of ISM instance data retrieval, including avoiding unnecessary FRenderTransform <-> FMatrix conversions.
* Removed GetInstanceShaderValues API, it was inefficient and annoying to require retrieval of all parameters when often only one or two of them were ever used. In some cases even the origin was unused but .w was needed because of the per-instance random packing.
* Implemented explicit GetInstanceRandomID() accessor to fetch (under current packing) Origin.W without exposing this to the callsites
* Implemented public API for GetInstanceLightMapData(), since the internal version was only accessible by GetInstanceShaderValues()
* Renamed GetInstanceShaderCustomDataValues() -> GetInstanceCustomDataValues() for API consistency

This change is another basis for more instance data and GPUScene improvements coming down the pipe.
