 - Making the planar probe atlas's format match the color buffer's format.
 - Removing the planarReflectionCacheCompressed setting from asset.
 - SHADERPASS for TransparentDepthPrepass and TransparentDepthPostpass identification is using respectively SHADERPASS_TRANSPARENT_DEPTH_PREPASS and SHADERPASS_TRANSPARENT_DEPTH_POSTPASS
