Please note that this change doesn't actually affect any baking results, because EmissiveColor always reads linear data from its HDR rendertarget regardless of PerPropertyColorSpace. The fix only affects the value returned by FMaterialBakingModule::IsLinearBake for EmissiveColor, which until now has been incorrect due to the missmatch between PerPropertyColorSpace and how EmissiveColor is actually baked.

* In this case, instead of baking each mesh material property to it's own buffer, we can write all the meshes to the same buffer as their UVs are already the final ones that do not overlap
* Memory usage is greatly reduced (in test case with ~300 materials to bake, peak is reduced by 5.5GB)
* A lot faster to process (~2x in most cases) as we are doing a single RT readback per baked material property
* We can also skip the final merge of the baked outputs, as we have a single one
Refactored the material baking module to have both code paths (single output and multi outputs) share as much code as possible

CL 10373564 by danny.couture
Optimize Material Baking (Phase 1)
- Introduce a mecanism to override the vertex/index buffer allocator used for dynamic meshes
- Avoid GDynamicMesh non-ticked pools build-up by using our own vertex/index buffer pool during baking
- Reduce reallocation and incurred soft page faults by reusing a single set of vertex/index buffers big enough for the biggest mesh
- Preemptively detect if smearing would result in monochrome texture to avoid useless work
- Shrink smeared monochrome textures during the baking process for huge memory savings
- Move UV smearing in worker threads to avoid blocking the game thread
- Required shaders are now built asynchronously
- Add progress bar for material baking
- 28m23 [at] 150 GB RAM -> 2m14s [at] 45 GB RAM for 6 channels [at] 512x512 when baking materials on ProxyLOD for DATASET-0008a with DDC empty

CL 10516258 by danny.couture
Optimize Material Baking (Phase 2)
- Implement pipelining with staging buffers to avoid GPU stalls when reading from render targets
- Reuse the same prepared FMeshBatch instead of rebuilding it for each draw pass
- Prepare the RenderItem in advance on other threads to reduce work on the game thread
- Move the staging surface copy out of the render thread
- Small vertex and index buffers are not reused to avoid dependency locks when mapping them
- Fix bug in Canvas Flush_RenderThread found while running HLOD rebuild commandlet on Fortnite
- Delete old and unused MaterialBakingModule.h from public files
- 4m44s -> 59s for baking 6 channel [at] 1024x1024 when baking materials on ProxyLOD for DATASET-0008a with shaders already compiled
- Time spent in Material Baking when rebuilding all HLOD on Apollo_POI_Large_HLOD (Phase 1 + 2 combined)
- 10m18s -> 2m36s for a first rebuild all in editor with no shaders in DDC (cold)
- 1m23s -> 20s for a second rebuild all in editor (warm)

Optimized mesh merging
* Added DeletePolygons() & DeleteTriangles methods to FMeshDescription which rely on TSets<> instead of performing costly TArray::AddUnique() calls()
* Parallelized UV generation and avoided duplicate processing of the same mesh+lod pairs
* Optimized FMeshDescriptionOperations::GenerateUniqueUVsForStaticMesh()
* Goes from 100s to 10s in my test case
