Ethan Lee 0fcaf47658 gpu: D3D12 only requires feature level 11_0 with Resource Binding Tier 2.
We previously thought this wasn't possible because constant buffer offsets and
partial updates were unavailable, but we were reading the wrong table - this is
only the case for D3D11...

... while 12 doesn't list this feature at all:

We double checked and Jesse Natalie confirmed that this feature is required for
D3D12 even for 11_0 drivers. (Thanks Jesse!)

Additionally, D3D12 requires that UAVs are accessible from all shader stages,
meaning Tier 2 is enough to support the number of UAVs we need. Tier 1 could be
a property to lower the requirements, but that can be done later.
