- A url can now be provided via 'ini:Engine:[Core.VirtualizationModule]:ConnectionHelpUrl=""' that will be added to various connection errors. If the error message is via FMessageLog then the user will be able to click the url to go straight to the link.
- This sort of help will be very company specific, this url will allow teams to build up their own FAQ for their users.
- Currently used by the source control backend if the initial connection fails but will be expanded to other areas.
- The url is currently parsed and owned by the virtualization manager but at the moment the connection error is issued by each backend. So right now there is a static accessor allowing backends to get the value to use. This would not work properly for 3rd party backends and will be changed in the near term.

- I thought I had already done this but I see nothing in the p4 history, so it is likely that I forgot to actually submit the change.
- Fix some additional warnings found under clang (C5219)

- Ends up pretty much the same,as FCompressedBuffer::FromCompressed will return a Null FCompressedBuffer if the provided data is null, but adding the check makes it clear when reading FSourceControlBackend::PullData that payloads might not be found and we are not setting them in that case.

- Each pull operation now takes a FText that can be filled in with additional info about any failures that will cause the new error dialog to be displayed.
-- At the moment we only have info to provide from the source control backend if the connection itself failed.
-- In the future we might want to completely overhaul our error logging and display all messages to the user but our logging system is not really built for that level of redirection at the moment.
- Only pass on the error if it came from a persistent backend, we don't need to worry the user about cached backends which are allowed to fail.

- One crash was reported where a user has somehow managed to try to submit a list of packages containing duplicate entries. This means we try to strip the trailer from that package multiple times which would cause the file system to assert during a call to truncate.
- This is technically the fault of higher level systems outside the control of VA but we should still handle it properly.
- Now duplicate entries are detected and removed so that each package is only processed once.
- If duplicates are detected we log a warning.

- If all payloads were already in the backend we would still record the time taken to query but do not increment the number of hits nor the size of the payloads. Without a stat for "payloads skipped" which we do not currently have any interest in adding, recording the time taken to query where no transfer takes place just ends up being misleading and looks like a bug.

- Most backends support some form of existence check which is run before a push to prevent uploading data that is already there. Sometimes we want to ignore that check (bugs in the backend etc) and need a way to force that to happen.
- The new config option [Core.VirtualizationModule]:ForceCachingOnPull (default false) will do this when set to true.
- The file and DDC backends will respect the flag but for now the source control backend will continue to check to avoid accidental pointless revisions being added.

- The enums don't contain any entries at the moment, the goal of this change is to reduce the friction that future API changes might have.
- The older versions of PullData/PushData have been deprecated but this won't flag compiler warnings if people have derived their own implementations of IVirtualizationBackend, so in addition to deprecating the methods have been set to 'final' and have checkNoEntry implementations which is the best we can do at the moment.
-- It is unlikely that people have actually done this as the documentation on adding new backend types will only go out in 5.3.

- Deprecate the config entry 'DepotRoot' and replace it with 'DepotPath'. The use of the term root was not clear and was causing people to think it was the name of the depot rather than the path to the root location to store payloads in.
- If 'DepotPath' is empty or missing, the value for 'ClientStream' will be used for it.
-- The 'DepotPath' can still be set when using streams, if the name of the stream is not a valid path (virtual streams for example.

- We now log the total size saving by running the virtualization process as well as the original size of the packages being virtualized and their resulting size.
- If LogVirtualization is set to verbose logging we will also log each individual package and its size reduction.

- Previously we were duplicating all packages being virtualized, without the recently virtualized payloads, then try to move them one at a time to replace the original packages.
- Now we do all of the prep work such as checking the packages out of revision control and checking that they can be written to first, then duplicate & move each package one at a time.
-- This way we only ever have a single additional duplicated package at a time.
- Moved the final summary logging to an exit scope so we can return when ever we want in the function.
- Added early out for error case.
- Added early out if there are no packages to remove virtualized payloads from.
- Improved the code commands in IVirtualizationSystem::TryVirtualizePackages so that the caller knows the potential failure case scenarios.

- The UE_REGISTER_VIRTUALIZATION_BACKEND_FACTORY macro would only compile when inside of the UE::Virtualization namespace, which is true for all of the default implementations that we provide but will probably not be true for any extension backends that third parties might write.
