Add a StringComparison argument to CreateIntermediateTextFile() and require callers to make a decision about the case-sensitivity used when considering whether to re-write a file.
(This is intentionally explicit and verbose at the call-site - we should implement a better solution. This change makes it clear that there is work to be done to be able to simplify the interface and achieve reliable behavior.)
As a first pass, C++ files (headers, cpp files, pch files) will have a case-sensitive comparison (C++ code is, mostly, case sensitive), Linux script files have a case-sensitive comparison (case-sensitive filesystem), and all other files are compared disregarding case - to match pre-existing behavior, and with the desire to not borrow more surprises than necessary.

RootDirectory, EngineDirectory, UnrealBuildToolPath are now found in BuildUtilities' UnrealBuild namesapce.
The way these are computed has changed. Previously, it was assumed that the application is UnrealBuildTool, and paths were constructed relative to that assembly.
Now, the assumption is that the process is located under a "Engine/Build/DotNET" sub-path and paths are constructed relative to that.

AGXRHI is starting out as a clone of MetalRHI, but will be refactored and overhauled with several goals in mind:
- Reduce/Eliminate technical debt
- Substantially improve readability and maintainability
- Introduce clear layers for platform independent vs dependent code
- Reduce memory footprint and generally improve memory usage
- Remove legacy concepts (like manual reference counting) and enable better integration with platform tools
- Implement newer and more modern features provided by Metal (such as ray tracing and enhanced command buffer debugging)
- Target/tune the software architecture and API usage for performance on Apple designed GPUs
