Support Headless Rendering

Hi,

I have seen multiple topics asking about the headless rendering capability with Unity. Here are a few of them: https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/ml-agents/issues/2185, https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/ml-agents/issues/3261, https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/ml-agents/issues/1050. Some folks mentioned in those threads that Unity has been working on it since 2019. Do we know if the feature is ready to use now in 2022? I know Unity Simulation Pro supports headless rendering with multiple GPUs which seems like the Unity team has already figured out how to make it work.

You can do headless rendering with pyvirtualdisplay, integrating it in MLA would be nice, but it's not too hard to make it work yourself

@RedTachyon Thanks for the info! But pyvirtualdisplay doesn't support GPU/Hardware Acceleration which means it will be very slow and the rendering quality sometime wouldn't be good enough.
