• Working toward creating a standalone application template
Removing application level modules and system components that make it difficult to navigate the project and add a lot of boilerplate code
• Temporarily keeping viewport module and components because shutting down the application deactivates module entities before system entities without respecting component service dependency order. This caused several RPI assets and names to leak because they were not being destroyed in the correct order.
• Fixing include paths not referenced source folders
• Mostly cleanup and reorganization, no behavioral changes

Atom tools are set up to inherit and automatically load all of the gems used by the game project. This is a great simplification that saves us from having to manually update cmake settings for every game project to push dependencies to every tool. The tradeoff is that some dependencies will be added to certain tools that have no relevance whatsoever, potentially wasting initialization time, memory utilization, and some processing. This change follows an existing example to update a couple of tools to forego initializing unused gems. They can easily be reenabled as needed.

Thumbnails for the AtomLyIntegration common feature gem were no longer being rendered. The setup code was modified to initialize the thumbnail system after receiving a new event that critical assets finished compiling. This event was being sent and handled correctly in the main editor. This process was failing in other tools because the event was sent before systems were registered to listen for it.
To resolve the problem, atom tools application now explicitly connects to the asset processor and processes critical assets after the base application StartCommon function is called. This ensures that the connection is established and the event gets sent after all of the system components have been activated.

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.

* 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

* Fixed problems with material editor hot reloading after documents or dependencies changed.
Triggering message boxes within the tick function, which is executed from the main application timer, caused the tick function to be called a second time recursively.
Switched from using the tick bus to a timer so that the documents re opening and dialogs are triggered outside of the main tick.
