* Useful to hide window frames in the distance field to work around over-occlusion

* Added r.MeshCardRepresentation.Debug for surface cache debugging. It skips DDC reads and writes, allows to regenerate per static mesh on demand and appends extra debug visualization data to every generated mapping
* Surfels are now weighted by opacity - ratio of rays which hit in a given cell, and by visibility - how many rays can hit a given Surfel from outside the mesh. This helps to select most important surfaces to cover when hitting limits
* Removed distance constraint. It�s no longer needed when card discontinuities are already handled inside the surface cache sampling code. This allows to generate larger and more optimal cards
* Limit max number of surfels to prevent generation time from exploding, as dense two sided meshes like large trees can generate many more surfels than simple walls

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.

* First mesh is voxelized by tracing rays in every voxel
* Then voxel faces are clustered in parallel to build continuos cards. Clustering follows voxel distance, card ratio, density and other metrics
* Finally a specificied number of cards is selected per mesh (user parameter). This allows to tradeoff between coverage and runtime overhead
Other:
* Added surface cache coverage view mode for debugging coverage issues - r.Lumen.Visualize.Mode 6
* Fixed r.LumenScene.SurfaceCache.CardMinResolution to be able to go below 2
