Implements https://github.com/godotengine/godot-proposals/issues/3371.
New `target` presets
====================
The `tools` option is removed and `target` changes to use three new presets,
which match the builds users are familiar with. These targets control the
default optimization level and enable editor-specific and debugging code:
- `editor`: Replaces `tools=yes target=release_debug`.
* Defines: `TOOLS_ENABLED`, `DEBUG_ENABLED`, `-O2`/`/O2`
- `template_debug`: Replaces `tools=no target=release_debug`.
* Defines: `DEBUG_ENABLED`, `-O2`/`/O2`
- `template_release`: Replaces `tools=no target=release`.
* Defines: `-O3`/`/O2`
New `dev_build` option
======================
The previous `target=debug` is now replaced by a separate `dev_build=yes`
option, which can be used in combination with either of the three targets,
and changes the following:
- `dev_build`: Defines `DEV_ENABLED`, disables optimization (`-O0`/`/0d`),
enables generating debug symbols, does not define `NDEBUG` so `assert()`
works in thirdparty libraries, adds a `.dev` suffix to the binary name.
Note: Unlike previously, `dev_build` defaults to off so that users who
compile Godot from source get an optimized and small build by default.
Engine contributors should now set `dev_build=yes` in their build scripts or
IDE configuration manually.
Changed binary names
====================
The name of generated binaries and object files are changed too, to follow
this format:
`godot.<platform>.<target>[.dev][.double].<arch>[.<extra_suffix>][.<ext>]`
For example:
- `godot.linuxbsd.editor.dev.arm64`
- `godot.windows.template_release.double.x86_64.mono.exe`
Be sure to update your links/scripts/IDE config accordingly.
More flexible `optimize` and `debug_symbols` options
====================================================
The optimization level and whether to generate debug symbols can be further
specified with the `optimize` and `debug_symbols` options. So the default
values listed above for the various `target` and `dev_build` combinations
are indicative and can be replaced when compiling, e.g.:
`scons p=linuxbsd target=template_debug dev_build=yes optimize=debug`
will make a "debug" export template with dev-only code enabled, `-Og`
optimization level for GCC/Clang, and debug symbols. Perfect for debugging
complex crashes at runtime in an exported project.

Also reset cache keys as we're going to cleanup all caches.
A second build is no longer needed. It was resulting in a null build
that still took more than 1 minute of CI time.
Also removed other usages of `mono_glue=no` and `mono_static=yes`,
as these options no longer exist.
Implement built-in classes Vector4, Vector4i and Projection.
* Two versions of Vector4 (float and integer).
* A Projection class, which is a 4x4 matrix specialized in projection types.
These types have been requested for a long time, but given they were very corner case they were not added before.
Because in Godot 4, reimplementing parts of the rendering engine is now possible, access to these types (heavily used by the rendering code) becomes a necessity.
**Q**: Why Projection and not Matrix4?
**A**: Godot does not use Matrix2, Matrix3, Matrix4x3, etc. naming convention because, within the engine, these types always have a *purpose*. As such, Godot names them: Transform2D, Transform3D or Basis. In this case, this 4x4 matrix is _always_ used as a _Projection_, hence the naming.
The new option is `linker` and lets the user specify the argument to
the`-fuse_ld=` linker flag directly. The supported options are:
- `default`: No change, typically uses GNU ld (bfd) unless the user or
distro picked a different default `/usr/bin/ld`.
- `bfd`: GNU ld from binutils
- `gold`: GNU gold from binutils
- `lld`: lld from LLVM
- `mold`: mold, an extremely fast modern linker, not (yet) intended for
use in production but great for development speed. Provided by distro
`mold` package or needs to be compiled from source and installed to
`/usr` otherwise.
Removes the `use_lld=yes` option, and make lld actually usable with GCC
too.
Not all the above are compatible or recommend for LTO, we recommend
using GNU ld with GCC LTO, or lld with LLVM ThinLTO.
This doesn't change the behavior when `--jobs`/`-j` is specified as a
command-line argument or in `SCONSFLAGS`.
The SCons hack used to know if `num_jobs` was set by the user is derived
from the MongoDB setup.
We use `os.cpu_count()` for portability (available since Python 3.4).
With 4 CPUs or less, we use the max. With more than 4 we use max - 1 to
preserve some bandwidth for the user's other programs.
Type emit_signal exposed method return type
set UndoRedo add_do_method and add_undo_method exposed return void
Set TreeItem::_call_recursive_bind returns void
Set _rpc_bind and _rpc_id_bind returns void in Node
Set _call_group and _call_group_flags method returns void in SceneTree
Set godot-cpp-test CI flag to false
PhysicsServer3DExtension inherits from PhysicsServer3D which is a
singleton class, since singleton classes are generated as static in C#
it would generate invalid C# so for now we'll be
ignoring PhysicsServer3DExtension.
* Allows creating a GDExtension based 3D Physics Server (for Bullet, PhysX, etc. support)
* Some changes on native struct binding for PhysicsServer
This allows a 3D Physics server created entirely from GDExtension. Once it works, the idea is to port the 2D one to it.
* Previous "virtual" classes (which can't be instantiated) are not corretly named "abstract".
* Added a new "virtual" category for classes, they can't be instantiated from the editor, but can be inherited from script and extensions.
* Converted a large amount of classes from "abstract" to "virtual" where it makes sense.
Most classes that make sense have been converted. Missing:
* Physics servers
* VideoStream
* Script* classes.
which will go in a separate PR due to the complexity involved.
This removes the dependency on shared libmonosgen installed locally
and makes the artifacts usable as standalone for testing without
needing a full Mono install.
This will enforce that PRs properly sync the class reference templates to match
their changes to the public API, and help notice binding bugs in the process
(e.g. missing enum bindings, unexpected API changes or missing argument names).
This should also serve as a reminder to contributors that their changes impact
the scripting API and might warrant actually filling the descriptions for the
new methods/properties/etc.
