Builds on top of #114922, as the fallback path on Android will not work otherwise.
This PR allows all RenderingContextDrivers to check early during the initialization process against a user-defined exclusion list. Some devices may offer Vulkan but underperform or show broken behavior. Developers can use this setting to redirect users with these devices to automatically use the Compatibility renderer.
Device name exclusion is mostly meant for Android, as other platforms that can freely update their drivers would need a different mechanism based on driver versions instead. Regardless, the implementation should apply in a generic way to all RenderingDevice drivers.
From my tests, my project runs on the Mobile renderer on the Pixel 8, but boots in Compatibility instead if I use the following setting.
