Removed unused shader "2" files
Removed unused shader "2" files that were part of a redesign effort, which is now complete on the development branch. These files are not needed for the upcoming release and could cause confusion for other developers.
ATOM-15837 Remove Unused Shader System Related *2 Classes From Stabilization Branch.

* ATOM-15859 AuxGeom rendering in editor is too expensive
- The OrphanBuffer calls is the main reason that AuxGeom FP render is slow.
- Switched to use DynamicBuffer for buffers used in DynamicPrimitiveProcessor
- Added some profiling marks.
- Removed DynamicPrimitiveProcessor per view which was added because of OrphanBuffer can only be called once per frame.
Remove warning when entities that aren't registered to instances get passed to the Prefab Undo Cache (just ignore them to avoid noise in the console).
Also avoid marking templates dirty when they are added.
Increasing the cab file compression lowers the total windows installer size by another 0.4 GB in its current form at the traded cost of on a few extra minutes (~5 vs ~10 min on an i7-4790k) to generate them.
Additionally, upping the max pre-compression cab file size to 350 MB (from 200 MB) lowers the total number of files by nearly half while still maintaining a reasonable per-cab files size post-compression.
* Fixes saving motions from within the Animation Editor
* Fixes saving actors from within the Animation Editor
* The motion event chunk of the .motion file format now also stores the event data as json (rather than XML) reducing motion file sizes (Example: 60KB motion went down to 49KB, containing only 4 motion events from 2 tracks).
* Fully backward compatible
* New motion meta data rule stores the event data directly rather than command strings or objects. This is the way that aligns with the Json paradigm and as side-effect bypasses the optionals that we use for the commands which fixes the issue.
* [LYN-4574] Adding new motion event meta data rule that stores the event data directly rather than via commands to align with the Json paradigm
* [LYN-4574] Preparing motion, event table and event track for Json serialization
* [LYN-4574] New chunk to store motion event data in Json format (fully backward compatible to XML)
* [LYN-4669] Json: Empty AZStd::vector<AZStd::shared_ptr<T>> serializes into 1x element with nullptr as data
* [LYN-4603] EMotion FX: Cannot save actors with physics or simulated object setup in Json format

This prevents Project build step from timing out
Moving the project build directory to be under the <project-path>/build/ folder to prevent two issues
1. The AssetProcessor from scanning that folder for assets.
[Bb]uild is part of the excluded folders
2. To prevent git from seeing modified files in the build directory as
the default .gitignore file ignores [Bb]uild
Adding a factor for alpha affecting specular in the standard and enhanced pbr materials (#1474)
* Adding a factor for how much alpha should affect specular to standard and enhanced pbr. Currently blended and tinted transparency always assume that the geometry represents the surface, and the surface may just be transparent like glass. In this model, specular is unnaffected by alpha - perfectly clear glass still reflects light and obeys the Fresnel factor. However alpha may also represent the absence of a surface entirely for mateirals where cut-out alpha is a bad fit because of subpixel detail, like hair or cob webs. This change addresses that by allowing the alpha to also affect specular reflection if desired.
* Adding material for ASV test.
Currently, the first time a raycast is attempted for a model, the raycast will fail and the model's kdtree will asynchronously get built. This breaks the vegetation system, which expects the queries to always work. This adds in a brute-force fallback for use while the kdtree is building. However, other use cases like the Editor mouse cursor selection raycast still should get the current "silent failure" behavior, because otherwise the Editor will lock up for several seconds the first time the mouse moves over an extremely complex model.
