* Added single-callback version of CreateStructuredBuffer to automatically infer element size, total size, element count and data pointer (e.g. CreateStructuredBuffer(GraphBuilder, TEXT("MyBuffer"), [&]() -> auto& { return BufferSource; });, where BufferSource is a TArray)
* Added support for uint2 shader parameters
* Added ForceTracking flag to ERDGBufferFlags/ERDGTextureFlags : force the RDG to track a resource even if it can be considered as readonly (no UAV, no RTV, etc.) This allows the graph to copy from and to external textures, and handling the corresponding transitions, for example.

There remain significant visual artifacts in the Virtual Production City map. Lumen has serious issues with multiple views in both single and multi-GPU modes -- I think Lumen data needs to be split per view family to solve this. There is some corrupt geometry in the second view, which may be Nanite or instance rendering related (or something else entirely). To narrow down these issues, I think I'm going to need to extend the DumpGPU feature to be able to do more effective MGPU graphical debugging, since none of PIX, RenderDoc, or NSight work. But at least it doesn't crash now...
Full list of changes:
* CVAR (DC.MultiGPUMode) to override multi-GPU mode for Display Cluster, debug feature copied over from 4.27.
* Barrier and synchronization fixes for RHITransferTextures copied over 4.27. Future work will make RDG handle multi-GPU transitions more seamlessly...
* CVAR (DC.ForceCrossGPUCopy) to force expensive full synchronization and copy of resources cross GPU at the end of each view family render (for debugging). RHITransferTextures upgraded to support copying things besides 2D textures, including other texture resources and buffers.
* AFR temporal fixes from a previous CL (which I moved from my single GPU to multi GPU PC), now improved to avoid some validation asserts in Debug builds (pass inputs not declared, GetParent()->GetRHI() not working because parent not declared to pass).
* Ray tracing (hang): acceleration buffers are branched per GPU, as GPU virtual addresses for resources internally referenced by these buffers may vary per GPU. Needed to add infrastructure to support buffers that duplicate memory per GPU, rather than using driver aliasing of the underlying resource.
* Ray tracing (hang): some buffer bindings weren't using a proper GPU index.
* Nanite (hang): Force initial clear of Nanite.MainAndPostNodesAndClusterBatchesBuffer to run on all GPUs. Solves GPU hang in shadow rendering the first frame (due to shadow rendering running across all GPUs), and later random hangs in view rendering.
* Distance field streaming (assert): GPU readback staging buffers need to be branched per GPU, as the underlying class is single device. GPU readback buffers and textures properly take into account the GPU they were last written on when locking and unlocking. Includes handling an edge case where a write can be queued when a lock is active, due to the deferred way commands are played back in the render graph.
* Distance field streaming (assert): UAV clear wasn't taking into account GPU index.
* GPU scene update needs to run across all GPUs.
* Fix for "DumpGPU" command to avoid assert with MGPU -- arbitrarily pick a GPU (last index) when the GPU mask contains multiple bits. Hope to improve this in the future, but it works.

3 fixes:
* Fixes the GRHISupportsVariableRateShading logic to ensure that bool doesn't get nuked if the device supports FragmentDensityMap but not ShadingRateAttachment.
* Ensures Scene Textures are created as an array when multiview enabled.
* Ensures the RenderPass2 impl supports the Multiview Mask.

Re-enabled async compute for Nanite. Fixed submission bug with async compute and parallel RDG where the async compute command list wasn't being submitted correctly in order.

- Added ERDGBuilderFlags::AllowParallelExecute to tag specific builders to attempt parallel execution. This avoids cases where small graphs fork tasks and end up causing contention. Only the main scene render graphs are tagged.
- Moved RHI transition creation to an async task.
- Moved parallel execute setup and dispatch to an async task.
- Fixed RDG draining asserts using a short-term workaround by tagging relevant scene textures as non-transient.
- Deprecated RDG AddPass utilities without names and fixed up last remnants.
- Enabled parallel RDG execution by default.

- Refactored RDG to support free-threaded execution of passes.
- Refactored renderer to use specific RHI command list variants in pass lambda. Immediate command list passes are forced to stay on the render thread, while other variants can be parallelized.
