The glints code causes unrolling issue. Glints are normally disabled throught the platform settings, but when running with -featureleveles31, these settings are not taken into account. This CL disabled explicitely glints on platform lower than SM5.

Force SM6 for preview VK SM5, Mac SM5
Enable Lumen Support for Preview VK SM5, Mac SM5
Modifying FeatureLevelSwitch to respect the parent ShaderPlatform FeatureLevel and not the one set by preview in order to have consistent material logic with the Shader Platform we are trying to preview

- Froxels are generated from HZB (for free) as well as water depth prepass (not free, but no cost increase).
- Froxels are 8x8 pixels and as cube-like as possible.
- Not compatible with page marking from translucent (falls back to per-pixel).

Emissive of volumetric fog now follow the distribution of the exp height fog.
Exp fog follow the emissive and albedo of the volumetric fog. And it also uses the same PhaseG and phase function as the volumetric fog (the UI for in scattering is then disabled when the project setting is enabled)
Now volumetric fog looks mostly different due to the lact of shadow casting or difference integration of ambient (through lumen for instance).
This allows for lumen fog sampling to even better match the environment. (currently not including volumetric fog material and local fog volume as this would be a lot more expenssive).

- moved ownership of RayTracingGeometry from FStaticMeshLODResources to FStaticMeshRayTracingProxyLOD so offline data can be streamed-in when ray tracing is toggled on.
- request streaming of ray tracing geometry when it is initally registered or FirstLODIndex changes.
- moved call to ProcessCompletedStreamingRequests(...) so it in every code path of FRayTracingGeometryManager::Tick(...)
- enabled r.RayTracing.EnableOnDemand by default on all platforms.

Support BLAS streaming when using r.RayTracing.UseReferenceBasedResidency
- serialize FStaticMeshRayTracingProxyLOD buffers into separate FByteBulkData.
- for the FStaticMeshRayTracingProxy.bUsingRenderingLODs case, this requires shared ownership of resources. FStaticMeshRayTracingProxyLOD owns the RayTracingGeometry while FStaticMeshLODResources owns the VB/IB/etc as usual.
- FRayTracingGeometryManager is responsible for responsible for issuing bulk data read requests and processing the results.
- decoupled r.RayTracing.UseReferenceBasedResidency from r.RayTracing.EnableOnDemand.
- made r.RayTracing.UseReferenceBasedResidency read-only since it affects serialization.

Supported in forward and deferred. It works without TAA but no denoising is done, so it looks much worse.
At the moment enabling SSR implies doing a depth prepass.
