DrawMeshInstancedProcedural(Mesh, int, Material, int, int, MaterialPropertyBlock)

Add a "draw mesh with instancing" command. Draw a mesh using Procedural Instancing. This is similar to Graphics.DrawMeshInstancedIndirect, except that when the instance count is known from script, it can be supplied directly using this method, rather than via a ComputeBuffer. If Material.enableInstancing is false, the command logs an error and skips rendering each time the command is executed; the command does not immediately fail and throw an exception. InvalidOperationException will be thrown if the current platform doesn't support this API (for example, if GPU instancing is not available). See SystemInfo.supportsInstancing.
