The commandlet is run via the cmdline '-run=VirtualizationEditor.PrecachePayloads' (the VirtualizationEditor part will load the module before executing the PrecachePayloads commandlet)
At the moment this is very slow to run as the VA API only allows one payload to be pulled in a single call and although we can make requests on many threads, there is a lot of overhead when requesting data from some backends and a batch pull API would be substantially quicker. This will be looked at in a future work item.
There are currently 4 different ways we can iterate over the payloads and precache them, since the commandlet is still too slow to use in general production, the different ways of iterating are provided so we can experiment later.
There is no way to customize what is precached, we just iterate over all the packaged in a project. We might want to improve this in the future but it would perhaps make more sense to move the package iteration options from the resave commandlet and make it something general purpose that different commandlets can also use. This would help build up a consistent way of choosing which packages are affected by a commandlet.

- When the statistics panel lived in the DDC editor module it was easier to keep all virtualization functionality in one place. Now that we have our own module we can move it to its own code file for better readability.
- Added a utility function ::SetupMenuEntries called when the module is started, we should add all future menu entries here.

- Up until now we have been piggybacking off the DDC editor module as the VA statistics panel was originally based on the DDC statistic panel but now we are starting to do more VA editor/UX work so we should probably have our own module.
- This does mean we need to remove the the VA statistics panel from the DDC status bar, but it didn't really belong there and the panel can still be opened via the menu 'Tool->Audit->Virtual Assets'
