Improve JsonSchema generation for complex types.
* UObject* and UClass* are all supported by default because they can be converted to and from strings.
* Only FMaps with string keys are supported. Other keys are unsupported but no longer trip an ensure.
* Removed some unnecessary validation code that was out of sync with actual schema gen logic.
* Added code for custom property generation callbacks.
* Rewrote tests to be simpler and complete.

39282e6 AccumulationDOF
AccumulationDOF: Experimental plugin that renders depth of field by accumulating deferred renders from multiple aperture view points, intended for production rendering (not gameplay).

Provides a way to render depth of field that greatly mitigates artifacts due to missing parallax, while preserving deferred rendering lookdev.
Use when not getting the desired visual results with the default DOF. Rendering time increases linearly with number of samples.

Main settings:

* Number of samples. The scene will be rendered from multiple aperture locations and accumulate the results.
* Splats size. To improve bokeh fill, it uses standard DOF as splats. The size is the fraction of the aperture diameter (defaults to 1/8), and kept small as to not reintroduce artifacts or over-soften the bokeh edges.

Usage:

* In-editor preview, under level viewport >> scalability dropdown >> Accumulation DOF
* MRQ integration via Accumulation DOF pass. Set spatial samples to 1, and temporal samples to the value you desire for high quality motion blur. (Note: Aperture renders are not currently amortized across temporal samples).

Feature support:

* Petzval swirly bokeh
* Cat's eye (barrel)
* Anamorphic squeeze
* Multi-band lateral chromatic aberration
* Multi-band axial chromatic aberration
* Spherical aberration
* User-customizable bokeh texture.

Main pending work:

* MRG integration
* Improve AA
* Improve motion blur

[RN] Accumulation DOF option for production rendering. Includes in-editor preview option.

Fixed incomplete application of 'EncryptionKey' tag to encrypted assets, when they are added to keychain via pull-in.

This broke Cosmo mapping of PrimaryAssetId to pak EncryptionKey in cooked builds, leading to incorrect Como URL requests (URL hash for unencrypted asset, when it should be encrypted asset only).

09491a2 PCG
[PCG] Produce spatial hashes/culling cells that define bounds for ranges of instances and allow early culling within the renderer.

This saves a large amount of memory on low end devices.

We already run an analysis pass on the input points to static mesh spawner to count how many instances per primitive. This change expands that functionality to also allow bucketing the instances into the cells at the same time.

[RN] [PCG] Added experimental support for passing bounds data for subranges of instances in a primitive to the renderer which can save substantial memory allocated for draw calls on low end
