====== SceneManager ======

Notes:

`SceneManager.sceneLoaded` is called *after* the loaded Scene Awakes. Scene Loading always happens at the start of the Update loop, within the `EarlyUpdate` phase of the PlayerLoop.

The Unity scene flushing pipeline works differently in the initialization phase of the player. Scene loads thats are queued during initialization are blocked and fully loaded before the game starts. For example, if SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync is called in the Awake of the very first scene (ie. called before the first Update), then the engine will wait to fully load that scene as well, before starting the first Update.

It is untested if this is also the case for SceneManager.UnloadSceneAsync. However, because Unity documentation mentions that that the scene  loading queue is a pipeline, and only one AsyncOperation can progress at a time, I would suspect that the Engine simply "flushes" the scene loading queue during initialization.

Phases:

* Initialization (Scene Loading happens here) 
  * Game Loop
    * Early Update
      * `UpdatePreloading` (Scene Loading happens here)
    * Update

(The scene load pipeline is fully flushed) I don't yet know how it handles unloads if they are in the pipeline then, so if we need this behaviour we should debug and see how it works. If scene unloads get flushed too, we'll need to add a bit of logic for it, in the same way LoadSceneAsync does.

The scene loading pipeline only seems to load one scene, every other frame. That is to say if you have 3 small scenes in the pipeline (Scene1, Scene2, Scene3), loading additively, the engine will load them at the following times:

* Frame N+0: Scene1  
  * Frame N+1: ----  
  * Frame N+2: Scene 2  
  * Frame N+3: ----  
  * Frame N+4: Scene 3

===== Build Pipeline =====

Scenes are built during standalone in the following way: '

- The active scenes are closed.  
  - Each Scene in the BuildSettings is opened. At this point prefabs are still prefab instances.  
  - EditorSceneManager.sceneOpened callback is called.  
  - Prefabs in the scene are flattened (turned into normal game objects).  
  - [IProcessScene] and PostProcessScene callbacks are called.  
  - The final scene file is saved into the standalone build file.  
  - Repeat for next scene .
