/**
* This backend can be used to access payloads stored in source control.
* The backend doesn't 'check out' a payload file but instead will just download the payload as
* a binary blob.
* It is assumed that the files are stored with the same path convention as the file system
* backend, found in Utils::PayloadIdToPath.
* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
*
* Ini file setup:
* 'Name'=(Type=P4SourceControl, DepotRoot="//ABC/")
* Where 'Name' is the backend name in the hierarchy and 'ABC' is the path in the source control
* depot where the payload files are being stored.
*
* Optional Values:
* Server [string]: When set the backend will use this server address to connect to. When not
* set the backend will use the environment defaults. [Default=""]
* ClientStream [string]: Used when the payloads are stored in a stream based depot. It should contain
* the stream name to use when creating a workspace for payload submission. [Default=""]
* UsePartitionedClient [bool]: When true the temporary workspace client created to submit payloads
* from will be created as a partitioned workspace which is less overhead
* on the source control server. If your server does not support this then
* use false. [Default=True]
* WorkingDir [string]: Sets the temp location on disk where payloads are submitted from. The path can
* contain config file expansions (see ConfigCacheIni.cpp ::MatchExpansions) and
* environment variables with the format $(EnvVarName).
* [Default="%GAMESAVEDDIR%/VASubmission"]
* RetryCount [int32]: How many times we should try to download a payload before giving up with
* an error. Useful when the connection is unreliable but does not experience
* frequent persistent outages. [Default=2]
* RetryWaitTime [int32]: The length of time the process should wait between each download attempt
* in milliseconds. Remember that the max length of time that the process
* can stall attempting to download a payload file is
* RetryCount * RetryWaitTime; [Default=100ms]
* MaxConnections [int32] The maximum number of perforce connections that can be made concurrently.
* If this value is exceeded then additional requests will wait until a
* connection becomes free. Pass in '-1' to disable this feature and allow
* unlimited connections. [Default=8]
* BatchCount [int32] The max number of payloads that can be pushed to source control in a
* single submit. If the number of payloads in a request batch exceeds
* this size then it will be split into multiple smaller batches. [Default=100]
* SuppressNotifications[bool]: When true the system will not display a pop up notification when a
* connection error occurs, allowing the user to stay unaware of the error
* unless it actually causes some sort of problem. [Default=false]
* UseLocalIniFileSettings[bool]When true the revision control provider will be allowed to load connection
* settings from the users locally saved 'SourceControlSettings.ini' file, if
* false then the settings in this file (if any) will be ignored. [Default=true]
* IgnoreFile [string]: Sets the name of the p4 ignore file to use. When submitting payloads we
* create a custom p4 ignore file to override any ignore settings for a project
* which allows us to submit from the saved directory which is normally prevented
* by the default ignore file. This value can be set to what ever is used by
* your perforce environment. [Default=".p4ignore.txt"]
*
* Environment Variables:
* UE-VirtualizationWorkingDir [string]: This can be set to a valid directory path that the backend
* should use as the root location to submit payloads from.
* If the users machine has this set then 'SubmitFromTempDir'
* will be ignored.
* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
*
* Perforce Storage Setup:
*
* Once you have decided where in perforce you want to store the virtualized payloads you will need to submit
* a dummy file to the root of that location named "payload_metainfo.txt" preferably with a short message describing
* the storage locations purpose.
* When initialized this backend will first attempt to find and download this dummy file as a way of validating that
* a) the process can correctly connect to perforce
* b) the process has the correct location setup in the config file.
* This validation not only allows us to alert the user to misconfiguration issues before they need to access the data
* but allows us to prevent users from accidentally pushing virtualized payloads to the wrong location.
*
* So for example, if the virtualized payloads are to be stored under '//payloads/project/...' then the backend would
* expect to find a '//payloads/project/payload_metainfo.txt' file that it would download via a p4 print command.
*
* If this file is not found then the backend will log an error the first time that it attempts to connect and will prevent
* the user from pulling or pushing payloads until the issue is resolved.
* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
*
* Perforce Settings Setup:
*
* The backend will attempt to use the current global environment settings for perforce to determine
* the P4PORT and P4USER values. If you wish to set them via an ini file then they can be done per
* user by adding the following to Saved\Config\<platform>Editor\SourceControlSettings.ini
*
* -----
* [PerforceSourceControl.VirtualizationSettings]
* Port=<server address>
* UserName=<username>
* -----
* Note that the backend will read from these ini file settings but will not write to them.
