Description
Checks whether this application can render anything or produce a derived data needed for rednering. Certain application types never render, but produce DDC used during rendering and as such need to step into some rendering paths.
A meaningful distinction from FApp::CanEverRender() is that commandlets like cooker will have FApp::CanEverRender() == false, but FApp::CanEverRenderOrProduceRenderData() == true. As such, this function can be used to guard paths that e.g. load assets' render data.
