While the mobile team wants to keep independent samples disbaled for PCD3D_ES3_1, it makes sense to move this as a platform dependent feature into the DDSPI configuration.

- Some static variables made it tricky, so added some support to make it simpler on users of the static variables

Platforms that do support uniform buffer objects can now provide batched primitive data through UBO. There is a limit UBO range that can be accessed in shaders, so we group instances into batches that fit into this limit. Switch uses 64KB views, other platfroms16KB views. For each primitive we allocate 512Bytes and 256Bytes for instance. Mobile platforms that do not support UBO will use a desktop version of GPUScene.
There are a few things that still missing: Dynamic mesh passes, static lighting

- Allow for per-project override in a project's platform's config folder (this is merging with my other work on per-project SDKs and validation of multi-target builds)
- More versions will move over after this

r.ShaderPipelines
r.Material.ExcludeNonPipelinedShaders
Both cvars are currently disable on WindowsEngine.ini which make them also disable when we cook for consoles. ExcludeNonPipelinedShaderTypes is currently used only at cooking time when we compile shaders which is currently returning false, since the value is disabled on windows. Making those cvars use FShaderPlatformCachedIniValue, will allow to have specific platform value when cooking for a specific target. Moving r.Material.ExcludeNonPipelinedShaders to the defaultengine.ini file to keep it disable for the moment and not affecting shader key string. Will enable it progressively on console later.
r.Shaders.RemoveUnusedInterpolators
Make that cvar platform agnostic, since it will be used in on other consoles eventually. Platforms supporting the stripping of unused interpolators will check the same flag (CFLAG_ForceRemoveUnusedInterpolators) to enable it. Since windows can run opengl, and stripping is not supported on that shader platform, add extra logic to exclude the flag.
-Make the RHISupportsShaderPipelines function access a real DDPI attribute and not just test if we are not on mobile. Will need this to be able to have stripping unused shader interpolators on Switch.

It's disabled on Android because some android devices don't support dual src blending, and it's disabled on IOS because it doesn't work with MRT.

Renamed FDataDrivenPlatformInfo::AudioCompressionSettingsIniSectionName to TargetSettingsIniSectionName. It's now used to populate PlatformMask at runtime, to make sure that it matches between cook and runtime. Before it was possible to cook with e.g. GRayTracingPlaformMask=0, but then the cooked game would run with GRayTracingPlaformMask=1.

- Formalizing all TargetPlatforms to have a Client version, rename WindowsNoEditor to Windows, and removing DDPI specification of TargetPlatforms, and generate them programmatically
- Updated names DeviceProfiles and Build scripts, as above
- Some PlatformInfo class cleanup
- Added a TNonDesktopTargetPlatformBase class to make most TargetPlatforms simpler
- Added "No Compiled Support" to the Turnkey LaunchOn menu when the TargetPlatforms aren't compiled in (to show that even if you install an SDK, you will need to compile before you can LaunchOn)\
- Starting the transition away from PlatformInfo::FPlatformInfo to FDDPI
[CL 13966487 by Josh Adams in ue5-main branch]
- Renamed FDataDrivenPlatformRegistry::FPlatformInfo to FDataDrivenPlatformInfo
- Moved some fields from PlatformInfo::FTargetPlatformInfo to FDataDrivenPlatformInfo, and cleaned them up in the process
- Fixed the DataDrivePlatformInfo.ini files to match the previous items
- Removed FVanillaPlatformEntry, and now just using FTargetPlatformInfo to manage flavors under a vanilla PlatformInfo (see PlatformInfo::GetVanillaPlatformInfoArray())
- Cleaned up TPerPlatformValue, as it was often misused (took a group and platform name, but we can get the group from the platform name) [AnimationSharingManager.cpp, *Engine.cpp, Runtime\Engine\*, ]
- Fixed FBlueprintNativeCodeGenPaths::GetDefaultCodeGenPaths() to use IniPlatformName instead of some hacky code [BlueprintNativeCodeGenManifest.cpp]
- Fixed various Turnkey bugs that recent testing exposed
- Enabled AUTOSDKS_ENABLED in both Mac and Linux on the Editor side (not that there are much set up to use it)
- Using Turnkey to get the SDK status instead of ValidatePlatforms (gives more detailed information - may want to go back to ValidatePlatforms so only UBT is needed, but change it to give more info)
- Moved OnDeviceDiscovered and Lost delegates from each platform's TargetPlatform class to a static in ITargetPlatform - there was no need for per-platform implementations
- Started working on allowing for SDK to be installed with editor running and not need to restart editor - Work in Progress! It is not usable yet.
