These changes have the added benefit of simplifying some of the serialization code. MaterialSourceDataSerializer is no longer needed, as its main purpose was to pass the MaterialTypeSourceData down to the MaterialPropertyValueSerializer.
Before, the JSON serialization system gave a lot of data flexibility because it did best-effort conversions, like allowing a float to be loaded as an int for example. But now the material serialization code doesn't know target data type, so it has to assume the data type based on what's in the .material file, and then the MaterialAsset will convert the data to the appropriate type later when Finalize() is called.

In some cases it may be acceptable to do non-const things in a const function as long as it is only manipulating internal data, and the public facing API returns the same values as before. But in this case, the IsFinalized function is a public facing API that would have a different result after GetPropertyValues was called.
I also updated a couple other minor things from code review feedback.

I found a mistake where MaterialAssetCreator needs to clear the raw data when configured to finalize the material asset.
Since MaterialSourceData no longer relies on the material type source file at all, I was able to change MaterialSourceDataTest to avoid saving the source data to disk.

I made MaterialAsset::Finalize private so I could add some parameters specifically for MaterialAssetCreator to use. Now MaterialAssetCreator::Begin has an option to finalize the material or not.
Moved MaterialAssetCreatorCommon::ValidateDataType to MaterialPropertyDescriptor as "ValidateMaterialPropertyDataType" so that MaterialAsset::Finalize could use it too

Before, the material builder was loading the MaterialTypeAsset and doing some processing with it, but was avoiding declaring job dependencies that would cause reprocessing lots of assets when a shader or .materialtype file changes. Reading the asset data isn't safe when not declaring a job dependency (or when declaring a weak job dependency like OrderOnce which is the case here). This caused to several known bugs.
The main change here is it no longer loads the MaterialTypeAsset at all; all other changes flow from there.
The biggest changes (when deferred material processing is enabled) are ...
1) MaterialSourceData no longer loads MaterialTypeAsset. All it really needs is to determine whether a string is an image file reference or an enum value, which is easy to do by just looking for the "." for the extension.
2) MaterialAssetCreator no longer produces a finalized material asset. It no longer uses MaterialAssetCreatorCommon because that only produces a non-finalized MaterialAsset, which has very different needs for the SetPropertyValue function. (We could consider merging MaterialAssetCreatorCommon into MaterialTypeAssetCreator since that's the only subclass at this point). And it doesn't do any validation against the properties layout since that can be done at runtime.
3) Moved processing of enum property values from MaterialSourceData to MaterialAsset::Finalize (this was the only thing being done in the builder that actually needed to read the material type asset data).
Also...
- Updated the MaterialAsset class mostly to clarify and formalize the two different modes it can be in: whether it is finalized or not.
- Merged the separate "IncludeMaterialPropertyNames" registry settings from MaterialConverterSystemComponent and MaterialBuilder into one "FinalizeMaterialAssets" setting used for both.
- Removed MaterialSourceData::ApplyVersionUpdates. Now the flow of data is the same regardless of whether the materials are finalized by the AP or at runtime. Version updates are always applied on the MaterialAsset.
- Added a validation check to MaterialTypeAssetCreator ensuring that once a property is renamed, the old name can never be used again for a new property. This assumption was already made previously, but not formalized, in that Material::FindPropertyIndex does not expect every caller to provide a version number for the material property name, also the material asset's list of raw property names was never versioned. The only way for this to be a safe assumption is to prevent reuse of old names.

The issue was because the preset reload was only happened in CreateJobs but not ProcessJobs. But these two functions might be called from different AssetBuilder. The fix is to add preset reload for Processjobs too.
There was another change to add debug device name for streaming image.

* Templates/Restricted upgrade/fixes:
Fixed template storage format: templates now only store true relative paths and no longer save "origin" paths and "optional" has been removed, it was never used.
Upgraded all templates to new standard
Template system now correctly handles child objects: Child objects no longer have to specify restricted they inherit from parent
Restricted now operates at the object level and makes no assumptions about parent
Restricted templates can now be combined and seperated on creation
ly_get_list_relative_filename has been deprecated for o3de_pal_dir
All Gems/Projects/Templates updated to use new code

The CriticalAssetsCompiled event can be handled to detect when the
AssetProcessor has finished processing Critical Assets
Also with the new event, an audit has been performed over all the
locations where the AssetCatalogEventBus OnCatalogLoaded event was being
handle to make sure it was the proper event to use.
If the handler was actually examing the enumerating over the full
catalog or querying all assets within the catalog, then it was a proper
use.
For handlers that were interested in a particular asset it was not
Moreover added implementations of `OnCatalogAssetChanged` and
`OnCatalogAssetAdded` to the FileTagComponent and the MaterialViewportComponent.
Any applications which uses the AtomToolsApplication
class(MaterialEditor, AtomSampleViewerStandalone,
ShaderMangementConsole) now signals a "CriticalAssetsCompiled" lifecycle
event as well as loads the "assetcatalog.xml" if it exists.
The Launcher application signals the "CrticalAssetsCompiled" event and
reloads the "assetcatalog.xml" for the ${project}.GameLauncher and
${project}.ServerLauncher in Launcher.cpp
Finally the Editor signals the "CriticalAssetsCompiled" and reloads the
"assetcatalog.xml" in CryEdit.cpp
