ShadowCaster culling executed for each light even when light itself is culled due to culling mask
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open attached project
2. Open "asdf" scene
3. Enter play mode
there are two cameras in the scene: 'Main Camera' with the culling mask set to everything and 'UICamera' with the culling mask set to UI
4. Open the profiler and navigate to Camera.Render->Culling->SceneCulling->CullAllVisibleLights->Shadows.CullDirectionalShadowCasters
Expected behavior: directional light is not drawn in the UICamera AND culling is not executed (Shadows.CullDirectionalShadowCasters being called only once in this scene for the 'Main Camera')
Actual result: directional light is not drawn in the UICamera but culling is executed nevertheless (Shadows.CullDirectionalShadowCasters being called twice)
Reproducible with: 5.6.0f1, 5.6.1p1, 2017.1.0b6

This is also an issue if you have turned off shadows in Quality settings. Precious time is wasted culling shadow casters even though shadows is off.

I have the same issue.
Occlusion Culling is culling shadow casters that should not be culled, resulting in popping shadows everywhere.
