This is a new API that allows for bypassing the slow CPU-copied deferred updates of media textures by writing directly into RHI texture resources. MarcusW already implemented it for PS4; we should implement it for the remaining player plug-ins as well. I added placeholders that you can fill in as needed. When all plug-ins are updated, I will switch UMediaTexture to always use the fast path.

This is an API breaking change. IMediaTrack has been renamed to IMediaStream. There are three new interfaces for tracks: IMediaAudioTrack, IMediaCaptionTrack and IMediaVideoTrack.

#UpgradeNotes: This is an API breaking change. If you implemented a plug-in for the Media Framework then you have to update your media player's Open() method to match the new signature. Take a look at the changes in the WmfMedia plug-in to see the differences between loading from a buffer and an archive.

#UpgradeNotes: If you implement the IMediaPlayer interface, make sure to update the function signature of the Open() method.
