Fbx test improvements for linux (#13270)

* Linux fixes for FBX tests:
-Standardized some types across Linux and Windows in the dbgsg files so the output will be the same on both platforms.
-If the only differences between dbgsg files is hashes, then its downgraded to a warning. This is temporary, until we get product output differences across platforms fixed.
-Added json output for dbgsg info to make it easier to write other automated tests, where json parsing is preferred.

* XML hashes are ignored now

* Updated tests for new json dbgsg files

* Truncated floating point values for now (with a warning) because Linux and Windows are not generating the same values for the same scene files.
Fixed a casing problem for a file name.

* Fixing casing on another file failing on Linux due to case

Signed-off-by: AMZN-stankowi <[email protected]>

* Fixed another Linux casing issue: All paths in the cache are lowercase, this was using an upercase folder in the cache.

* Improved logic that extracts differences between lists

* Fixed doc string for return value to match actual return value

* Added tests for pipeline_utils list comparisons

Signed-off-by: AMZN-stankowi <[email protected]>

* Pull request feedback:
Used pformat to print lists instead of manually unrolling lists.
Broke compare_scene_debug_file into multiple functions.
Changed some variables to ALL CAPS to show the intent that they are constant.
A lot more comments.
