Platforms that do support uniform buffer objects can now provide batched primitive data through UBO. There is a limit UBO range that can be accessed in shaders, so we group instances into batches that fit into this limit. Switch uses 64KB views, other platfroms16KB views. For each primitive we allocate 512Bytes and 256Bytes for instance. Mobile platforms that do not support UBO will use a desktop version of GPUScene.
There are a few things that still missing: Dynamic mesh passes, static lighting

- If we want to use slate dialogs we cannot use LazyInitConnections, however slate dialogs only work on programs that a) support slate and b) are running in some interactive form. Commandline programs, or the editor runnning in unattended mode or running a commandlet cannot make use of the slate dialog.
- If this new flag 'DisableLazyInitIfInteractive' is set to true and 'LazyInitConnections' is set to true then the VA system will lazy init its connections unless we are running an interactive program that could make use of the slate dialogs, in which case 'LazyInitConnections' is disabled for safety.
- Ideally we'd merge these two values into a single enum but I am hoping that we can change how we connect in the near term in which case we will simple deprecate 'DisableLazyInitIfInteractive'. The use case is pretty niche at the moment so this will probably be easier for the next stage of work.

- Very super early support for VisionOS (requires Xcode 15 beta2 or later).
- THIS IS NOT USABLE YET - WORK IN PROGRESS!
- It builds, links with IOS libs (warnings, not errors), can cook and it boots in Simulator, but is dying in MetalRHI
- UnrealTargetPlatform.VisionOS is currently defined in Engine code, it is not pulled out like would be correct for a full true platform extension
- Refactored a lot of Build.cs files to use UnrealPlatformGroup.IOS/Apple instead of individual platform checks, to make VisionOS integration simpler

### Dialog
- When the source control backend tries to connect and fails we will now show a dialog allowing the user to try new settings rather than let the editor continue and crash.
- The dialog will allow the user to enter the server address (P4PORT) and their username (P4USER).
- Once the dialog is displayed the user will have three options to continue.
-- "Reset To Defaults" which will remove all settings saved to the users local ini files and attempt to use the environment defaults to connect.
-- "Retry Connection" which will take the new address and username that the user provided and attempt to connect with those settings.
-- "Skip" no connection attempt will be made. This may cause instability later if the user needs data that they cannot access.
- If the connection succeeds after the user has reset to defaults or provided new settings, then they will be saved in the local ini file for future sessions.
- The dialog will not show if:
-- Slate is disabled for the current processor has not yet initialized
-- The error is found not on the game thread. This means that lazy init will not currently work well with this dialog. Attempts to mashal the error to the game thread have been spotty at best and there is a high chance of thread locking so attempts were abandoned.
-- If the -unattended flag is set on the process.
-- If the dialog is disabled via the config file when setting up the backend (UseRetryConnectionDialog=False)
-- If 'engine.ini:[Core.VirtualizationModule]:UseLocalIniFileSettings' is false as future sessions would not be able to use the new settings and would become tiresome. In these cases the environment settings will need to be fixed.
- If the dialog is now shown then the backend is marked as unconnected and will not work.
### Known Issues
- We currently cannot get the settings that the failed p4 connection used, nor the error message dueto how the API works. So for now we just display an empty server address and username edit box. This will be fixed when the API is changed.
- There is currently no good way to inform the user where their settings come from.
- There is no easy way to reset the settings once saved. To allow the user to change the server address to a better proxy for example.
### Initialization
- In order to allow a slate dialog to be used, the initialization of the VA system has been moved later in pre init, to the first avaliable point after slate has initialized and its shaders have been built. This in theory should not cause a a problem as engine content cannot be virtualized.
-- Added a new option 'engine.ini:[Core.ContentVirtualization]:InitPreSlate' with a default of false. When set to true the VA system will initialize in the original, earlier portion of engine pre init. This is only included in case an existing virtualized project encounters a problem with the new ordering.
