#jira UE-25752
Change 2836342 on 2016/01/20 by Nick.Darnell
Depending on shutdown order, the Slate Renderer may go away, and then render data handles may not be collected correctly because they are trying to reference a pointer that's no longer valid and cause a crash on exit. The correct approach would be to have render handles actually have a pointer back to who owns them, in this case the RHI Resource Manager, which is still alive and well at this point in the pipeline. Then if the resource manager is collected, it forces all handles to get cleaned up correctly, or if the handles are collected first, they can be sure they've got a valid pointer back to the resource manager.

This is similar to AddLine, however it allows you to add multiple lines in a single call, thus avoiding the re-justification cost associated with each call to AddLine.
AddLine has also been changed to take the same structure type as AddLines (which takes an array of these structures), and the existing version of AddLine has been deprecated.

- Text picking can now handle bi-directional and right-to-left text.
- Text picking can now pick the individual characters that make up a ligature glyph.
- The caret now draws on the logical (rather than visual) side of the glyph (to handle right-to-left text).
- Glyph clusters (multiple glyphs produced from a single character) are now treated as a single logical glyph.

Emit a shader code cache for each platforms requested shader formats, this is separate to the targeted formats as not all can or need to be cached.
- The implementation extends the ShaderCache's hooks in FShaderResource's serialisation function to capture the required shaders.
- Each target platform has its own list of cached shader formats, analogous to the list of targeted RHIs. Presently only the Mac implements this.
- Code cached shaders are now compressed (for size) to reduce the overhead associated with keeping all the shader code around - this works esp. well for text-based formats like GLSL.
