The default threshold for loop unrolling was 32, so the compiler tried to make a dynamic loop when we had more iterations. The vector VM doesn't support that, so the codegen was never designed to understand dynamic loops, leading to an assertion failure. Increased the threshold to a large value, so we never hit this problem in practice.

The branch flattening code assumed the function will always have a return value. Also, it never advanced the current parameter pointer when going through the function arguments, so it was trying to dereference the first parameter for all the arguments.

The opcode was only added to the argument list when WITH_EDITOR was defined, so all the positional arguments used by the string formatter were offset by -1.

- Defines will still be there if we're dumping the shader code for debug.
- This makes the code less unique in general case and also avoids unnecessary works that no one sees.

The comparison operators return boolean vectors, but we were assigning the result to scalar booleans. We need to use all() around comparisons, to make sure they work correctly. Since there's no all() opcode in the VM, I've added NiagaraAll() which emulates it on CPU.
Also added support for comparing boolean values (new operator nodes plus support in the VM codegen).

- Read ByteCode directly if unalgned loads are supported to condense 3 opts into 1 when reading a uint16
- Pre-calculate instance loops for VECTOR_WIDTH_FLOATS to avoid each vector op having to round / divide instance counts
- Added runtime optimization of the VM script, this currently boils down to a function call per VM invoke + storing the data required
- Use vm.OptimizeVMByteCode to enable optimized code generation
- Use vm.UseOptimizedVMByteCode to enable running optimized code rather the traditional byte code

- VM is now directly fed a set of pre generated register tables from the datasets.
- Split the monolithic register table in the VM up so there are explicit I/O and temp register tables the script indexes into directly.
- Avoids some recreation of expensve objects in favour of manual reset calls.
- Re-wrote Oupt kernel to be more explicit. Going via templated handler in this case didn't get us any code reuse and just obfuscated it's workings.
Saves ~10-25us of overhead per VM involcation which soon adds up.
Saves ~1-2us inside each VM exec itself.
