This work is an example on how to make rendering settings outside of the engine still getting the convenient blending functionality of the PostProcess settings.
todo:
* Blueprint scripting (dynamic asset generation?)
* Improve the UI to create settings without using the content browser (asset living in the level).
later todo:
* Remove the LPV settings in the struct (content changes might be needed, if we don't provide an automatic upgrade for those settings).
* We can expose the BlendableManager to other areas (gameplay/tick/blueprint).
* Break out more/all from the post process struct
* We might change the name of the PostProcessVolume as it no longer only affects post processing.

* reduced order of SH (faster but a bit more blurry)
* DirectionalOcclusion (disabled by default, can be enabled in PostProcessSettings, affects SkyLight and ReflectionEnvironments but not AmbientCube)
* Material BlockGI feature
* Spotlight support
* Uses AsyncCompute on XboxOne as optimization (order is not optimized yet)

Also FViewInfo now accumulates a mask of all lightingprofiles used in a given view during the relevancy calculation.

options: Nop / Read / Write
added ensure() and check() to find bad usage patterns
this fixes DBuffer decal rendering, allows optimizations in the RHI (near hardware APIs like DX12 or consoles)

Also add many explicit calls to CopyToResolveTarget to indicate the transition of a render target to be able to be used as an SRV. Soon to be replaced by a more specific RHI function.
Added r.CheckSRVTransitions for D3D11 on windows to check if any of these transition are missing.
Fixes a bug with RHIThreadFence when using PLATFORM_SUPPORTS_PARALLEL_RHI_EXECUTE
PLATFORM_SUPPORTS_PARALLEL_RHI_EXECUTE on PS4 now supports CMASK and HTILE enabled buffers.

Reflection captures work with feature level preview switching.
removed 'r.NoTiledReflections' support.
