Editor

• Fixed: Unlikely null-pointer de-reference when switching to game mode (CE-5258).

Engine

• New: (Build) Added release build config for EaaS (which is not identical to "normal" release in terms of linking).
• New: (CrySystem) Allows game code to specify a list of pak-files to load (instead of hard-coding in CrySystem), for use by EaaS.
• Fixed: (RC, CryCommonTools) RC ignores files that are inside a subfolder of which the name starts with a . (dot).

Renderer

• Fixed: Don't skip deferred shadow gen when there are still custom or cloud shadows to be rendered (CE-5168).
• Fixed: Overlapping stencil values with cascade blending and custom shadow maps.
• Fixed: Use area light for sun just when area light support is enabled. Fixed area lights with tiled shading.
• Fixed: gbuffer velocity generation when tessellation is enabled (fixes Character motion blur issues) (CE-3335).
• Fixed: Sun specular multiplier in standard shading path (fixes sun specular not being configurable in tiledshading '2' mode).
