* Still disabled as Metal requires a horrible workaround/hack
* Remove GSupportsGSRenderTargetLayerSwitchingToMips workaround

- 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)

* Both paths still exist in code during this transition. The GetDynamicMeshElements path is currently disabled, enable with 'r.UseGetDynamicMeshElements 1'.
* DrawDynamicElements was called once per pass, all sorts of pass-specific cruft had leaked in along with short-term modifications of shared structures (vertex factories and material proxies). DrawDynamicElements was not const, so a bunch of 'update' type work had leaked in. Various PreRenderView implementations relied on the view being in the view family.
* GetDynamicMeshElements is called once in InitViews, and the resulting meshes are used in various passes. GetDynamicMeshElements is const and must not modify the proxy, update work should be pushed to the proxy from the game thread. GetDynamicMeshElements can be called on views that are not in the view family, which allows a proper view for shadow depth passes.
* View mode override functionality moved out of the individual proxies into a centralized place, ApplyViewModeOverrides
* GPU particles not working yet, FRecastRenderingSceneProxy not implemented

- FeatureLevelPreview menu option now instructs world to switch feature level. This triggers our WIP switching code which works a bit...
- Converted a few more GRHIFeatureLevel references over to point at the nearest convenient scene/sceneview
- Made GetRHIFeatureLevel a non-inlined function (breakpoints wouldn't stop on the inlined version) and #define'd GRHIFeatureLevel to point at the GMaxRHIFeatureLevel (i.e. back to old behaviour)
- Changes to FSystemTextures so that the global object gets initialized in a stack-y kind of way. You initialize at a feature level and it creates all textures needed up to that point. Subsequent initializes at a higher feature level will allocate the new ones needed but not the existing ones. Only behaviour change from this is that there was a single 1x1 texture created only for ES2 that I just let get created for every feature level to keep the "feature level stack" nature of things.
