- New RHI command list SetTrackedAccess method for the user to supply a current whole-resource state.
- New RHI command context GetTrackedAccess method for querying the tracked access in RHIBeginTransitions / RHIEndTransitions on the RHI thread.
- Hooked RHICmdList.Transition and FRHICommandListExecutor::Transition to assign tracked state automatically.
- Refactored RDG and resource pools to use new RHI tracking.
- FRDGPooledBuffer / FRDGPooledTexture no longer contain tracked state. RDG temp-allocates state through the graph allocator instead.
- All prologue transitions are 'Unknown', and all epilogue transitions coalesce into a whole resource state.
- Implemented platform support for patching the 'before' state with the tracked state.
- Implemented various RHI validation checks:
- Asserts that the user assigned tracked state matches RHI validation tracked state, for all subresources.
- Asserts that tracked state is not assigned or queried from a parallel translation context.
- Added FRHIViewableResource and FRHIView base classes to RHI. FRHIView contains a pointer to an FRHIViewableResource. This is currently a raw pointer, but should be extended to a full reference in a later CL.
NOTE on RHI thread constraint:
Transition evaluation is now restricted to the RHI thread (i.e. no parallel translation contexts). Transitions aren't performed in parallel translate contexts anyway, so this is not a problem. If, however, we decide to refactor parallel translation to be more general, this implementation could be extended to track the state per context and update from the 'dispatch' thread.

Both Immediate/AsyncCompute passes are always executed in order on the render thread but other RDG passes can run in parallel.
With my previous change, RayTracingScene pass was changed to Compute/AsyncCompute to have the correct order on the GPU.
But when it was set to Compute (when AsyncCompute was disabled) it was running in parallel with passes it depends on which led to random crashes.
Because the dependency between passes was implicit, we needed a new flag to express the intent and get the desired order between execution lambdas.
On behalf of Zach Bethel.

- Implemented common transient page allocator in RHICore.
- Implemented XBox specific GPU page table mapping allocator.
- Extended RDG insights to support viewing heap visualization or page pool visualization.

- Refactored RDG to support free-threaded execution of passes.
- Refactored renderer to use specific RHI command list variants in pass lambda. Immediate command list passes are forced to stay on the render thread, while other variants can be parallelized.

- New Drain() method on FRDGBuilder; will flush all pending work.
- Drained passes are not culled; resource lifetimes are extended; async compute fences are optimized as best as possible but fence joining may occur after the drain.
- Batch up and pre-build all resource transitions. This is a prerequisite for parallel command lists.
- Removed ServiceLocalQueue passes with built-in RDG AddDispatchHint().
#jira UE-114622
[CL 16393495 by zach bethel in ue5-main branch]
- Replaced legacy transient support from RDG and replaced with new API.
- Reworked acquire / discard operations a bit and added RHI validation to track correctness.
- Reworked RDG barrier batching to include acquire / discard operations.
- Hardened render pass merging logic and expanded to support lifetime extension of transient resources.
- Added transient tag to RDG insights to track which resources are transient.
