- move uniform buffer cleanup and dead stripping into ShaderPreprocessor module's PreprocessShader function
- add "required symbols" to compiler input struct to specify additional symbols to keep during minification aside from those specified by the entrypoint; modify API such that both an entry point string and additional symbols can be specified (to avoid each backend needing to manually parse the compound RT entry point string)
- make use of ModifyShaderCompilerInput in all backends to set additional defines and required symbols on input struct up front; only use the AdditionalDefines map in cases where it's actually necessary
- remove the various per-platform defines for enabling minifier, no longer required now that this has been rolled out for all backends
- fix SCW directcompile mode; this had rotted due to pieces of the FShaderCompilerEnvironment having been added that weren't explicitly serialized to either cmdline or in the shader source. this now serializes as a base64 string written inside the USF containing all portions of the environment required for compilation (using the same serialization function as is used to write/read the SCW input file)
- use a debug flag for indicating we're in "direct compile" mode and should load the debug USF off disk, rather than the poorly named "bSkipPreprocessedCache" (this name is both inaccurate and also confusing due to the addition of the preprocessed job cache)
- modify platform "force wave32" mechanism to use a pragma directive to set a compiler define, instead of doing string replacement in the preprocessed source
- add a view version of the RT entrypoint parsing to use in preprocessing, note that other paths still need to construct fstrings due to further manipulation so keeping the FString path around too
- clean up backends manually checking the "directcompile" cmdline arg

The PDB name is either retrieved from the PDB blob part of DXC's output, or is generated using the shader hash that DXC reports even when no PDB is requested. We don't export PDBs because it would result in duplicate data as we use embedded PDBs.

- Removing the need for COMPILER_DEFINE on GetResourceFromHeap and GetSamplerFromHeap
- FShaderParameterParser constructor now requires a FPlatformConfiguration object that each shader format can configure.
- FPlatformConfiguration::GenerateBindlessAccess allows each platform to generate the code for accessing a bindless resource or sampler.
- Added EShaderParameterParserConfigurationFlags to specify support for stable constant buffers and bindless.
- Moved EBindlessParameterMode into EShaderParameterParserConfigurationFlags::BindlessUsesArrays
- While moving things around, I was able to convert some TCHAR* uses to FStringView

-Add a new define to wrap the output semantic that we want to be post declare as precise.
-Modify DXC-SIRV to add the NoContraction decorator on precise output semantics.
-Modify spirv_glsl to post declare as precise output semantics
-Example: out precise float4 gl_positon; will add precise gl_position; post declaration.

- When generating Uniform Buffer HLSL code, a 'static const struct {} Name' was created which has been causing compiler issues off and on for years.
- When RemoveUniformBuffersFromSource removed said struct, it parsed the struct's structure to figure out how to translate UniformBuffer.Member into UniformBuffer_Member in code that accessed Uniform Buffers.
- Now, instead of a struct, a "UniformBuffer <Name>" declaration is created and filled with mappings from "UniformBuffer.Member" into the correct code.
- This allows ConstantBuffer objects to be used differently from cbuffer where the former generates "UniformBuffer.Member" and the latter generates "UniformBuffer_Member"
- This also allows resources to always be translated to "UniformBuffer_Member"
- Shader define 'PLATFORM_SUPPORTS_UB_STRUCT' is now 'PLATFORM_SUPPORTS_CONSTANTBUFFER_OBJECT' and will be set on shader formats that support ConstantBuffer<> objects.
- Removed lots of unused code from BindlessResources.ush

- Avoid explicit FMA instructions in platform-specific GLSL to let backend-compiler decide when to use them.
- Fix code refelction when using SPIR-V directly with backend-compiler.
- Define preset of SPIR-V optimization passes to reduce nested expressions "preset(relax-nested-expr)".

Platforms can return a platform hash and a blob of text data to go with that hash
These are stored one / line in ShaderSymbols.info in lieu of full PDB info
Useful when full shader PDBs are impractically large, info-only is much smaller
