- Removed r.OptimizedWPO as it is no longer useful and causes confusion as we default bEvaluateWorldPositionOffset to true for primitives.
- Added UseNaniteTessellation helper function

* Update builtin shaders to use ShouldCompileRayTracingShadersForProject instead of always being compiled.
* Modify ShouldCompileRayTracingShadersForProject to respect r.Raytracing.RequireSM6 cvar.
* Don't compile or use D3D12 ray tracing validation shaders on SM5.

* Set r.RayTracing.RequireSM6 to 1 by default.
* Editor will display a notification if shader format is set to SM5 but ray tracing is enabled
* To make the transition easier setting r.RayTracing.RequireSM6=0 will make ray tracing available in SM5 as before.
