- Refactoring FShaderParameterParser to use more string views since we can rely on OriginalParsedShader not changing.
- Split FShaderParameterParser::ParseAndMoveShaderParametersToRootConstantBuffer into smaller functions
- Moving FShaderParametersMetadata::IterateShaderParameterMembers into the only module it's used in, ShaderParameterParser.cpp
- Adding CFLAG_BindlessResources which will be set when ENABLE_BINDLESS_RESOURCES is set
- Adding CFLAG_BindlessSamplers which will be set when ENABLE_BINDLESS_SAMPLERS is set
- Adding resource/sampler detection and conversion to bindless in FShaderParameterParser

Changed ShaderArchive, GlobalShaderCache, ShaderDebugInfo and Autogen to use ShaderPlatformName and not ShaderFormat when naming their output files.

- Relocate Engine/Source/Runtime/Apple/Common/Public/* -> Engine/Source/Runtime/Apple/MetalRHI/Public/*
- Update module dependencies, etc.

- Consume Uniform then UAV buffer slots first.
- Don't use up a buffer slot for texel buffers as we should be using texture buffers for these now.
- If we are not using a buffer slot for the same texel slot index then don't attempt to bind the underlying SRV buffer when binding the SRV texture otherwise it'll stomp on other in use buffer slots.
- Use CountTrailingZeros64() when referencing TextureIndices as that is a 64bit type.

It is possible to use the -sandbox= option to mount an alternative file system location from which to load data. On desktop platforms, if the -sandbox= is not specified then Saved/Cooked/[Platform] is implicitly created as a sandbox. This allows runtime binaries to run off cooked data and negate the need to stage. When cooking, the Metal shader compiler creates shader libraries with files in title case. UAT will convert these into lowercase when staging. The Metal RHI is unable to load the cooked libraries as it assumes it is loading lowercase ones from staged data. This change makes sure that all shader libraries are always lowercase. Secondly, the paths to .metallib files where preprocessed in a such a way that bypassed the sandbox file system, resulting in an incorrect native path. Now the API used to convert from IPlatformFile paths to native ones is always used such that sandboxing will get taken into account.
