Change 2927181 on 2016/03/29 by Dmitry.Rekman
(Optionally) exclude idle time from server FPS charts.
- Time spent waiting for the next frame in order to hit capped FPS can be optionally excluded by using t.FPSChart.ExcludeIdleTime (set to 1 for servers).
- Server FPS charts analytics events and log output will include the information if idle time was excluded.
- Also: added a log line each time we detect a server hitch for easier pin-pointing them in the log.

Renamed GPU analytics event from GPU to DesktopGPU to reflect that it is the default desktop adapter and not the one we initialized (which is GPUAdapter)
Updated text/log based FPS chart events to print out GPUAdapter instead (with DesktopGPU in parens if they differ, e.g., in an optimus setup)

Fixed SCW always exiting after compiling a long shader, now checks idle time starting from the end of the last compile task

Particle SubUV cutouts
* A new asset type 'SubUV Animation' precomputes bounding geometry for every frame of a SubUV texture animation.
* Particle emitters with a SubUV module can then use this SubUV Animation to render with much tigher bounding geometry to reduce overdraw.
* GPU performance savings depend on how much empty space (zero alpha) existed in the texture. Measured a reduction of 2-3x GPU time on a smoke effect.
* This only works if the material does not modify opacity to reveal areas with zero texture alpha

Change 2778618 on 2015/11/23 by Daniel.Wright
- Removed default shader platform parameter from GetGlobalShaderMap()
- Added an inline overload of GetGlobalShaderMap() that takes a feature level instead, and translates to the correct shader platform
- Cached feature level on FSceneView for faster access
- Cached shader map on FViewInfo for faster access
- Cached featurelevel/shadermap on rendering composition graph execution context, for faster access
Fixed a couple of crashes when switching feature level dynamically
- Needed to allow certain shader permutations to be generated if feature level was ES2, but still on a PC platform. (i.e. hitproxy shaders, and basepass shaders used by editor primitives system)

#ttp 331829 - Mobile Preview in Editor
#proj Engine
#branch UE4
#summary First pass of changes to remove GRHIFeatureLevel, allowing for multiple scenes with different feature levels to exist. First step towards dynamic mobile preview in the editor.
#change Added GMaxRHIFeature level which contains the highest supported feature level on this machine
#change Added a cvar "r.FeatureLevelPreview" which, when set to 1, enables a feature level selection in the quick settings menu. Not wired up to anything at the minute
#change Added a feature level variable to FScene, which is currently initialized to whatever GRHIFeatureLevel is. Accessed with GetFeatureLevel()
#change Added a helper accessor GetFeatureLevel() to FSceneView which gets the feature level from the relevant scene. Purely to reduce the amount of typing needed to get to a feature level
#change Many changes across the renderer to try and read the current feature level from the view or scene. Not everything is done yet, but this is almost all of the "easy" stuff. As there is still just a global feature level in the engine, nothing should change.
