[Interest] Qt3D: One-shot compute shader

[Paul Lemire]

If you can use Qt 5.13, ComputeCommand has a runType
property(Continuous/Manual) and a trigger function which you can use for
one shot compute calls.

Another option would be to set the enabled property of your
DispatchCompute FG node to false once you know you don't need to execute
your compute shader.
