This affects FGlobalDynamicReadBuffer, FGlobalDynamicVertexBuffer and FGlobalDynamicIndexBuffer.
"r.NumFramesUnusedBeforeReleasingGlobalResourceBuffer"
Number of frames after which unused global resource allocations will be discarded. Set 0 to ignore. (default=30)
Also added shrinking logic to the FNiagaraDataSet buffers:
"fx.NiagaraDataBufferMinSize"
Niagara data buffer minimum allocation size in bytes. (Default=512)
"fx.NiagaraDataBufferShrinkFactor"
Niagara data buffer size threshold for shrinking. (Default=3)
The buffer will be reallocated when the used size becomes 1/F of the allocated size.

Don't consider VT enabled if only 'r.VirtualTexturedLightmaps' is set (but 'r.VirtualTexturing' is not)
This cvar config is not valid, but still possible to manually set the cvars to this state

- This fixes massive memory bloat with a Niagara system spawning 10k particles, as each frame we add more particles we were allocating a new buffer. In the end I saw 94 buffers allocated of varying sizes, the rough memory savings here (at least from a stat POV) is ~70mb.

7064877 - RDG Resource Barrier Fixes and Improvements.
- Resource barriers are now batched and submitted as a group at the beginning of a pass.
- UAVs referencing the same underlying resource now only submit a single write barrier instead of a write + N UAV barriers.
- During a mip generation pass, barriers are not issued for textures (they are implicitly converted to the SubRWBarrier state).
- Depth / stencil read now transitions to the read state; this allows DSV + SRV to work correctly.

7064884 - Fixed RHI resource transitions causing validation failures.

7064898 - Fixed issue where implementation of RHICopyTexture would only copy mip 0, breaking environment probe copies.
