This change is in response to a bug in the current implementation where only the D3D12 backend correctly initializes the immediate command list context prior to initializing global render resources (which use the immediate command list). All other backends only happen to work due to the bypass being enabled in the editor.
In shipping builds this causes a crash due to the command list context being null.

Lightmap resources were not recreated correctly when when the feature level changed. Also, modified FRenderResource::ChangeFeatureLevel() so that it doesn't recreate resources which are already using the correct feature level.

This affects FGlobalDynamicReadBuffer, FGlobalDynamicVertexBuffer and FGlobalDynamicIndexBuffer.
"r.NumFramesUnusedBeforeReleasingGlobalResourceBuffer"
Number of frames after which unused global resource allocations will be discarded. Set 0 to ignore. (default=30)
Also added shrinking logic to the FNiagaraDataSet buffers:
"fx.NiagaraDataBufferMinSize"
Niagara data buffer minimum allocation size in bytes. (Default=512)
"fx.NiagaraDataBufferShrinkFactor"
Niagara data buffer size threshold for shrinking. (Default=3)
The buffer will be reallocated when the used size becomes 1/F of the allocated size.

* IntiViews
* Dispatch prepass parallel cmd list (flickering, as global buffers weren't committed).
* InitShadows.
* Commit global buffers (race condition and potential crash).
This was fixed by:
* Renamed FNiagaraGlobalReadBuffer to FGlobalDynamicReadBuffer and moved it out from Niagara.
* Removed all global buffer singletons and placed them inside appropriate renderers as static members.
* They are also separated into two - one for InitViews and one for InitShadows, so we can dispatch prepass while writing to the shadow global buffers.
* All global buffers are now passed as a parameter and/or through mesh collector.
