 - Fix for issue that prevented scene from being completely saved when baked reflection probes are present and lighting is set to auto generate.
 - Fixed the depth buffer copy made before custom pass after opaque and normal injection point.
 - Fixed a weird behavior in the scalable settings drawing when the space becomes tiny (1212045).

 ### Changed
 - Rejecting history for ray traced reflections based on a threshold evaluated on the neighborhood of the sampled history.
