- 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.

- 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.

- Deprecated legacy members from FPooledRenderTargetDesc.
- Deprecated ETextureRenderTarget and removed from RDG.
- TargetableTexture always equals ShaderResourceTexture.
- Simplified render target pool FindFreeElement.
- Create pooled buffers and textures with a known state.

This should fully address UniformBufferLayout/UniformBuffer crashes that randomly happen during shader compiling in the Editor.

- New Drain() method on FRDGBuilder; will flush all pending work.
- Drained passes are not culled; resource lifetimes are extended; async compute fences are optimized as best as possible but fence joining may occur after the drain.
- Batch up and pre-build all resource transitions. This is a prerequisite for parallel command lists.
- Removed ServiceLocalQueue passes with built-in RDG AddDispatchHint().

- Simplified texture subresource tracking.
- Removed map lookup for each resource in SetupPass.
- Improved Compile / CollectPassResources to reduce cache misses.
- Added some container reservations to reduce reallocation costs.
- Added snapping of buffers to page boundaries to improve re-use.

- Views are cached on RHI transient resources; view renames are no longer necessary.
- RHI Transient resources utilize a single cache per heap keyed off of the descriptor + offset. Resource caches and heaps are garbage collected.
- CPU performance is effectively equivalent to the existing pooled resource method.
- Added common RHI transient resource allocator implementation in RHI core; significantly reduces the amount of platform code.
- Resource aliasing overlaps are tracked by the RHI and submitted through an acquire operation.
- Fixed D3D12 implementation to support multi-GPU.
- Removed condition that excluded small (<64k) buffers in the transient allocator.
- RHI validation now checks that resource overlaps are valid; i.e. if an overlap occurs between resource A and B during an acquire of B, validation checks that A has been discarded.

- Replaced legacy transient support from RDG and replaced with new API.
- Reworked acquire / discard operations a bit and added RHI validation to track correctness.
- Reworked RDG barrier batching to include acquire / discard operations.
- Hardened render pass merging logic and expanded to support lifetime extension of transient resources.
- Added transient tag to RDG insights to track which resources are transient.
