- This allows us to provide the user with more ways to customize the virtualization and return more detailed info about it if the calling code wishes to log additional info. In both cases we can extend the options and the data returned without changing the API.
- Previously if we virtualized a package that was not checked out in revision control we would warn the user and then skip updating the package file on disk. This means the payloads would be uploaded but the user would be left with no local changes. Since sometimes we know we don't need to check out any package (virtualizing the packages in a change list for example) we don't want to always incur the cost of polling reivision control to see which packages do need checking out. This is why we now allow the caller to request package files be checked out via the new options enum EVirtualizationOptions.
-- If the EVirtualizationOptions::Checkout flag is provided we will poll the revision control status of all package files and then check out those which need it.
-- We still check if packages can be modified and warn the user if they can't, as package files could be locked in other ways.
- Added a new utility function to SourceControlUtilties to make it easier to check out packages. There is similar functionality elsewhere in the code base but the virtualization module is too low level to make use of it.
- Updated existing code that calls ::TryVirtualizePackages and add cases of ''using namespace UE::Virtualization' where required to improve readability.
- The UnrealVirtualizationTool now supports a new cmdline option "-checkout" that can be used when virtualizing packages. This will checkout any package that was actually virtualized so the result can be saved back out to the workspace domain. This means we no longer require the caller to have checked out the packages before running the tool.

- Added a new FArchive 'FFixedBufferWriterArchive' that will let me serialize to an already allocated, fixed sized memory buffer.
- Moved the code for opening and reading packages to shared utility functions so that it is easier to keep the error messages consistent.
- Moved common code to a new function ::TryRehydrateBuilder so that both rehydration methods can share it.
- Note that technically we are changing the API since now we accept a TConstArrayView for the package file paths for both the virtualization and rehydration paths, but existing code will be compatible with this change.

- The option is [Core.VirtualizationModule]VirtualizationProcessTag=
- If left blank then no tag will be added
- The internal virtualization process code no longer needs to return a tag since it will now be applied by the virtualization manager instead.
-- Note that we still follow the same logic, we only stamp if no errors were encountered.

- The code in the files isn't really a check anymore but the actual process for virtualizing packages (taking the payloads stored in the package trailer, pushing to the backends then modifying the trailer) updating the name reflects this.
- It also helps match the PackageRehydrationProcess.
