Local light shadows are supported on mobile forward and deferred, need to enable full depth prepass to generate the ShadowMaskTexture.
Remove the 4 maximum local lights limitation on mobile forward.
Remove the "High Quality Reflection" on mobile forward.
Disable simple lights on mobile forward.

Storing water in gbuffer and runnign extra lighting pass would be too expenssiv. So instead, when in deferred, single layer water always output the main dir light luminance into a separate 111110 texture.
DF shadow is applied on that texture. DFShadow culling step is cached the first time for a given view in order to be able to reapply DFShadow later with a depth buffer containing water. This save 0.4ms on a base console.
DFShadow is naturaly skipped if the directional light does not have that feature enabled.
When DFShadow is executed, it is basically 0.24ms extra on a base console @ 1080p.
The separated light buffer is an extra 8MB allocated when in deferred.
This only works with deferred for now (forward does not run the reflection/composite pass).
Render target slot assignement is a bit fuzzy but this is a mostly static setup so should be fine. And could change with Strata down the line.
r.Water.SingleLayer.ShaderSupportDistanceFieldShadow is to enabled dfshadow on water for the shaders. Defaults to 1 and will only be enalbed when using deferred and when distance fields are enabled.
r.Water.SingleLayer.DistanceFieldShadow is a runtime toggle of the feature (if enabled the shaders still output to the separate light render target, but that is simply discarded).
Follow up: tile upsample, tile traceshadow, make it work with strata.
Tested shooter and console.

- Can be enabled using r.RayTracing.Nanite.ProceduralPrimitive
- Currently uses a single AABB geometry for the whole mesh so can only support one material.

- Add r.Shadow.DetectVertexShaderLayerAtRuntime to make it possible to force (for DX11/12/SM5/Vulkan) compilation of vslayer despite RHISupportsVertexShaderLayer being false.
- Set r.Shadow.DetectVertexShaderLayerAtRuntime in WindowsEngine.ini,WinGDKEngine.ini & LinuxEngine.ini.
- Add DoesRuntimeSupportOnePassPointLightShadows to determine support at runtime.
- Fix bug excluding Nanite meshes from DF shadows for local lights if VSM is enabled (now only affects directional lights).
- Add OnGetOnScreenMessages to enable modular generation of on-screen messages in the scene renderer (aimed at transient rendering processes).

FLinearColor has also been modified to make any double->float conversions explicit. Previously all 3D TVector versions were allowed to be implicit and thus could convert TVector<double> => FLinearColor => TVector4<float>.
Fixed up all engine and game casts. Added "//LWC_TODO: precision loss" around any explicit casts that previously were silently explicit and we may need to revisit for precision loss analysis.

- Added console command syntax for viewing the value from the editor (<CVarName>[at]<PlatformName>)
- Converted FShaderPlatformCachedIniValue to use the new system (which will give a better possible value on the target platform). Eventually, this can be replaced with direct calls to GetPlatformValueVariable(ShaderPlatformToPlatformName(SHaderPlatform))
