From August 1, 2019, Google Play requires that all new apps and app updates
include 64-bit versions, so we enable ARM64 by default.
IINM support for x86 and x86_64 is still be optional, so not enabling them
out of the box.
Part of #25030.
Godot supports many different compilers and for production releases we
have to support 3 currently: GCC8, Clang6, and MSVC2017. These compilers
all do slightly different things with -ffast-math and it is causing
issues now. See #24841, #24540, #10758, #10070. And probably other
complaints about physics differences between release and release_debug
builds.
I've done some performance comparisons on Linux x86_64. All tests are
ran 20 times.

I have also looked at FPS numbers for tps-demo, 3d platformer, 2d
platformer, and sponza and could not find any measurable difference.
I believe that given the issues and oft-reported (physics) glitches on
release builds I believe that the couple of percent of tight-loop
floating point performance regression is well worth it.
This fixes#24540 and fixes#24841
- The `cpu-features.{c,h}` code was only used by chance by the webm
(libvpx) code, so I moved it there. It was actually introduced before
that and wasn't in use, and libvpx just happened to be able to
compile thanks to it being bundled.
It could potentially be compiled on the fly from the Android NDK, but
since we plan to replace the webm module by a GDNative plugin in the
near future, I went the bundling route.
- `ifaddrs_android.h` is already provided in the Android NDK as
`ifaddrs.h`, same as on other Unixes. Yet we cannot use it until we
up the min API level to 24, where `getifaddrs` is first defined.
I moved the files to `thirdparty/misc` and synced them with upstream
WebRTC (only indentation changes and removal of `static` qualifiers).
Also removes dropped thirdparty files from COPYRIGHT.txt after changes
in #24105 and #24145.
By introducing an intermediate proxy class for the array subscript
operator for String and CharString we can control better when CowData
will actually CoW.
This should improve performance of String usage for most cases.
The current system for capturing the mouse and generating motion events on X11
has issues with inaccurate and lopsided input. This is because both
XQueryPointer and XWarpPointer work in terms of integer coordinates when the
underlying X11 input driver may be tracking the mouse using subpixel
coordinates. When warping the pointer, the fractional part of the pointer
position is discarded.
To work around this issue, the fix uses raw motion events from XInput 2. These
events report relative motion and are not affected by pointer warping.
Additionally, this means Godot is able to detect motion at a higher resolution
under X11. Because this is raw mouse input, it is not affected by the user's
pointer speed and acceleration settings. This is the same system as SDL2 uses
for its relative motion.
Multitouch input on X requires XInput 2.2. Raw motion events require
XInput 2.0. Since 2.0 is old enough, this is now the minimum requirement to
use Godot on X.
