* Added r.MeshCardRepresentation.Debug for surface cache debugging. It skips DDC reads and writes, allows to regenerate per static mesh on demand and appends extra debug visualization data to every generated mapping
* Surfels are now weighted by opacity - ratio of rays which hit in a given cell, and by visibility - how many rays can hit a given Surfel from outside the mesh. This helps to select most important surfaces to cover when hitting limits
* Removed distance constraint. It�s no longer needed when card discontinuities are already handled inside the surface cache sampling code. This allows to generate larger and more optimal cards
* Limit max number of surfels to prevent generation time from exploding, as dense two sided meshes like large trees can generate many more surfels than simple walls

Instead of clearing RadiosityAtlas and skipping Radiosity when switching Lumen to SWRT, voxelize the direct lighting that's been calculated so far and keep the existing Radiosity atlas

FLinearColor has also been modified to make any double->float conversions explicit. Previously all 3D TVector versions were allowed to be implicit and thus could convert TVector<double> => FLinearColor => TVector4<float>.
Fixed up all engine and game casts. Added "//LWC_TODO: precision loss" around any explicit casts that previously were silently explicit and we may need to revisit for precision loss analysis.

Removing them remove the following debug assert in LinkerLoad.h that happen when we copy FSkeletalMeshLODModel structure.
checkSlow(FPlatformTLS::GetCurrentThreadId() == OwnerThread);
It should also prevent a crash with file handle since we cannot lock two different bulk data in separate thread if the two bulk data are store in the same package since they will share a file handle

Fix a lock issue in CopyStructure, bulkdata are not playing well with thread so I prefer not using them for such small amount of editor data.

* First mesh is voxelized by tracing rays in every voxel
* Then voxel faces are clustered in parallel to build continuos cards. Clustering follows voxel distance, card ratio, density and other metrics
* Finally a specificied number of cards is selected per mesh (user parameter). This allows to tradeoff between coverage and runtime overhead
Other:
* Added surface cache coverage view mode for debugging coverage issues - r.Lumen.Visualize.Mode 6
* Fixed r.LumenScene.SurfaceCache.CardMinResolution to be able to go below 2
