Because of assumptions in the DDC system about cooking being deterministic, we could under various circumstances end up in a situations where StaticMesh and the associated Nanite streaming data was coming from two different cooks.
This could easily cause a crash as the StaticMesh chunk contains explicit page and offset references into the streaming data.
Determinism fixes:
-Added sorting step during initial clustering in the case where an edge is shared by more than 2 triangles.
-Added sorting step to sort parent clusters after they have been generated.
-Changed cluster GUID from 32bit to 64bit. When cooking CitySample there was one case where two clusters that were compared ended up with the same GUID, resulting in undefined order.
-Initialized GUID in the cluster constructor that takes a list of clusters to merge. Before it would just be 0.
-Added missing initialization of vertex color on fallback meshes that don't use vertex color.

Switched FDynamicBVH to use greedy insertion because branch and bound perf significantly degrades with heavily overlapped leaves.
Added closest point queries using branch and bound.
FBounds is now templated as TBounds.

These both trim detail from the Nanite data that is stored to disk and can be used to optimize disk size after import. Should be a super useful tool late in production.

Changed fallback settings to be largely error based with new property FallbackRelativeError.
Nanite builder will now provide the LOD fallbacks for all autogenerated LOD levels which is far faster than generating them from scratch.

Now finds DAG cut with minimal error to hit target NumTris.
Fixed bad UVs affecting simplification. Not sure why this code was removed.

Nanite builder:
-Parameterized hierarchy builder to support different fanouts
-Changed fanout from 64 to 8
-Removed old K-Means hierarchy builder and replaced it with a top-down splitting approach
-Changed hierarchy node bounds from spheres to AABBs
-Added some GraphViz debugging code to visualize the tree
Persistent culling shader:
-MPMC queue support for multiple inputs per wave
-Node culling now consumes multiple nodes
-Merged node culling and cluster culling shaders
Misc:
-Moved culling specific functions to Culling.ush
-Merged arrays for candidate clusters and nodes into one array to get under 8UAV limit. They already had same lifetime.

The Nanite builder now accepts a set of meshes that will be built into a single resource with a hierarchy root for each input mesh.
Updated runtime code to use this feature for Geometry collection.
Each GC now takes up just a single root page.
Changed geometry collection serialization so Nanite data is now transient similar to how it is transient in RenderData for StaticMesh.
Added bogus serialization functions for parsing and throwing away the old Nanite data, so we don't crash when parsing old files.

Used for Nanite instances smaller than 6 pixels. Drawn directly from the instance culling pass. Significantly faster than sending down the normal cluster rasterization pipe.

- Reduce game-thread stalls by scheduling worker thread's work on background threads to avoid interference.
- Reduce peak memory usage duration when using coarse mesh representation by clearing the original mesh sooner.
- Allow nanite mesh to be built from any thread
