- Store global bitfield of active feature levels
- Generate shaders for all active feature levels
- Add option to experimental settings to enable dynamic feature level
- Redirect GRHIFeatureLevel to GMaxRHIFeatureLevel - Effectively const now, ready to be removed
[CL 2296373 by Graeme Thornton in Main branch]
- Addes 3_1 define on shaders
- Fixes GL packed uniforms array size incorrect assert
- Disallows running the editor with -featureleveles2
- r.MobileHDR is now read-only
- Moved some checks from SM3 to SM4

* 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

* For several preview components (cascade + a couple of animation previews), don't create a separate FXSystem for the preview world. Just use the one created internally by the world
* Several bug fixes and improvements to dynamic feature level switch
* Continued conversion of code that references to global feature level.

#ttp 331829 - Mobile Preview in Editor
#proj Engine
#branch UE4
#summary First pass of changes to remove GRHIFeatureLevel, allowing for multiple scenes with different feature levels to exist. First step towards dynamic mobile preview in the editor.
#change Added GMaxRHIFeature level which contains the highest supported feature level on this machine
#change Added a cvar "r.FeatureLevelPreview" which, when set to 1, enables a feature level selection in the quick settings menu. Not wired up to anything at the minute
#change Added a feature level variable to FScene, which is currently initialized to whatever GRHIFeatureLevel is. Accessed with GetFeatureLevel()
#change Added a helper accessor GetFeatureLevel() to FSceneView which gets the feature level from the relevant scene. Purely to reduce the amount of typing needed to get to a feature level
#change Many changes across the renderer to try and read the current feature level from the view or scene. Not everything is done yet, but this is almost all of the "easy" stuff. As there is still just a global feature level in the engine, nothing should change.
