Script and Task improvements Epic

Various ideas this Epic covers:

• Make our task system alloc-free (possible with recent C# version) so that people are not afraid to create thousands of scripts with await
• Reorganize task system so that we can wait various points of engine. So far we only have Update/Draw, but I suspect many scripts wants much more control when they want to run (after physics, etc…). Not sure yet if we want some kind of high-level sync point graph editor, or something more programmatic.

@fdrobidoux , you are right. I just don’t want to create something useless or something somebody else is doing right now.

Just a little update, and correct me if I’m wrong :

• You wrote a mini batch system , with a scheduler and a synchronization system;
• Normally, users don’t access directly such systems. There is a layer in the engine breaking great tasks into little taks and this layer and the little tasks weight depends on system configuration (I.E. core counts, core capabilities, etc) ;
• If those assumptions are correct, the next step is construct this layer to break great tasks in little tasks and create the synchronization points; -DX12 and Vulkan helps with this job;
• I don’t know if you are thinking on transparency on this layer, permitting the user/programmer to control it beyond creating custom sync points; Let me hear your observations and corrections.
