The RDG builder holds a scope in order to avoid deletion of any resources during the graph setup / execution. This resolves the need to hold a strong reference during the RDG graph lifetime.
If FlushPendingDeletes is called within one of these scopes, the resources are instead queued onto the immediate command list and flushed at the end of the scope.
This change removes strong references held of uniform buffers held by RHI commands and certain platform contexts. When a flush is encountered, the backends will clear all caches removing any potential dangling references.
Resources can opt out of lifetime extension by calling ->DisableLifetimeExtension(). Subsequent calls to FlushPendingDeletes will release the resource immediately. This is used by a couple edge cases where resources must be deleted mid-frame (namely, DumpGPU and BVH building).

RHI header dependency cleanup
- Reducing other header dependencies from RHIDefinitions.h
- Moved a few functions to the new RHIStrings.h
- Uniform buffer layout initializer moved to its own file to reduce RHI dependency on MemoryLayout.

This allows to define a new dynamic scaling in the renderer with low amount of boiler plate:
DynamicRenderScaling::FHeuristicSettings GetDynamicTranslucencyResolutionSettings()
{
RenderingDynamicScaling::FHeuristicSettings BucketSetting;
BucketSetting.Model = RenderingDynamicScaling::EHeuristicModel::Quadratic;
BucketSetting.bModelScalesWithPrimaryScreenPercentage = true;
BucketSetting.MinResolutionFraction = ...
...
return BucketSetting;
}
DynamicRenderScaling::FBudget GDynamicTranslucencyResolution(TEXT("DynamicTranslucencyResolution"), &GetDynamicTranslucencyResolutionSettings);
And then simply define a scope to measure the GPU timing as such:
{
DynamicRenderScaling::FRDGScope DynamicTranslucencyResolutionScope(GraphBuilder, GDynamicTranslucencyResolution);
// add passes to GraphBuilder
}

- Refactord 'Finalized Access' feature into a more flexible 'External' vs. 'Internal' access mode per resource toggle.
- Resources can transition between modes multiple times within the graph.
- Supports async compute pipeline.
- Supports queueing of requests to avoid back-to-back helper passes.
- This feature is needed to support conversion of GPU scene buffers.
- Deprecated the ReadOnly and ForceTracking resource flags and added a 'SkipTracking' flag instead.
- Previous semantics were confusing and error prone.
- New model requires a manual flag to tell RDG never to transition a resource.
- This flag is used for read-only dummy resources as an optimization.
- Renamed some of the auxiliary 'FinalizedResource' utilities since the name no longer matches the semantics.
