This change includes significant refactor work performed in //UE5/Dev-ParallelRendering. A brief summary of the work is as follows:
Refactored RHI command lists
- Removal of the "immediate" async compute command list
- Introduced an "active pipe" on each command list, allowing RHICmdLists to record work for either graphics or async compute. Pipes can be selected using the SwitchPipeline() function, or the FRHICommandListScopedPipeline helper.
- New explicit command list submission RHI API (RHIFinalizeContext, RHISubmitCommandLists). The IRHICommandContextContainer type has been removed.
- Explicit GPU submission is automatically appended to the immediate command list when it is dispatched to the RHI thread.
Platform RHI implementations
- The new submission API has been implemented across all platforms. Some platforms required a significant refactor.

- Passes are added to a queue that is consumed by a task to perform pass setup actions.
- Moved CompilePassBarriers to overlap with resource collection.
- Converted most tasks to new task system.

By default Lumen is disabled for Scene Capture to save memory, but can be enabled via post process override settings. The memory usage display was important when adding this feature, to give feedback to the user of the memory impact for enabling Lumen. It's also just generally useful besides. Lumen costs 340 MB to enable if view specific Lumen scene data is enabled at low quality (half resolution page buffer), or 640 MB at high quality (full resolution page buffer). Besides memory statistics in the Texture Editor, there is an editor specific command which dumps per-resource sizes to log (r.SceneCapture.DumpMemory), useful for investigating where the memory is going.
Lumen requires persistent state to function properly, so Lumen is disabled if bCaptureEveryFrame and bAlwaysPersistRenderingState are both false. I decided not to allow Lumen for Scene Capture Cube, due to high memory cost, poor CPU performance, and lighting seams across the faces. I'm hoping in the future to run Scene Capture Cube as a single scene render call (effectively 6-way split screen for the 6 cube map faces), and have certain rendering passes run as a single omnidirectional pass. Perhaps Lumen could use a single radiance cache for all 6 faces, rather than 6 separate caches, reducing memory, significantly improving performance, and hopefully solving lighting seams.
I rounded out the set of functions that handle per-view VSM and Lumen caches, to include functionality to remove the caches (necessary to allow the per-view Lumen cache to be toggled back off), and query their presence.

- Refactord 'Finalized Access' feature into a more flexible 'External' vs. 'Internal' access mode per resource toggle.
- Resources can transition between modes multiple times within the graph.
- Supports async compute pipeline.
- Supports queueing of requests to avoid back-to-back helper passes.
- This feature is needed to support conversion of GPU scene buffers.
- Deprecated the ReadOnly and ForceTracking resource flags and added a 'SkipTracking' flag instead.
- Previous semantics were confusing and error prone.
- New model requires a manual flag to tell RDG never to transition a resource.
- This flag is used for read-only dummy resources as an optimization.
- Renamed some of the auxiliary 'FinalizedResource' utilities since the name no longer matches the semantics.

- Added resource pool counters and events.
- Added AllocatePooledBuffer method and refactored pool to no longer take a command list.
- Refactored swap chain barrier logic to be a bit cleaner.
- Added helper methods to cast between views.
- Added power of two alignment option to buffer pool.
- Added GetTypeHash implementations for RDG SRV | UAV descriptors.

- Deprecated all the Create functions in FRHITextureDesc
- Added Create functions to FRDGTextureDesc which now derives from FRHITextureDesc instead of just being an alias
- FRHITextureCreateDesc can now be constructed functionally via SetXXX functions that return a reference to the FRHITextureCreateDesc
- Fixed a couple bad uses of FRHITexture*Desc types that should have been using FRDGTextureDesc

- New RHI command list SetTrackedAccess method for the user to supply a current whole-resource state.
- New RHI command context GetTrackedAccess method for querying the tracked access in RHIBeginTransitions / RHIEndTransitions on the RHI thread.
- Hooked RHICmdList.Transition and FRHICommandListExecutor::Transition to assign tracked state automatically.
- Refactored RDG and resource pools to use new RHI tracking.
- FRDGPooledBuffer / FRDGPooledTexture no longer contain tracked state. RDG temp-allocates state through the graph allocator instead.
- All prologue transitions are 'Unknown', and all epilogue transitions coalesce into a whole resource state.
- Implemented platform support for patching the 'before' state with the tracked state.
- Implemented various RHI validation checks:
- Asserts that the user assigned tracked state matches RHI validation tracked state, for all subresources.
- Asserts that tracked state is not assigned or queried from a parallel translation context.
- Added FRHIViewableResource and FRHIView base classes to RHI. FRHIView contains a pointer to an FRHIViewableResource. This is currently a raw pointer, but should be extended to a full reference in a later CL.
NOTE on RHI thread constraint:
Transition evaluation is now restricted to the RHI thread (i.e. no parallel translation contexts). Transitions aren't performed in parallel translate contexts anyway, so this is not a problem. If, however, we decide to refactor parallel translation to be more general, this implementation could be extended to track the state per context and update from the 'dispatch' thread.
