Instead of reading files over the network, the new version uses a local file cache and only updates files when it changes.
The original remote filesystem was created 14 years ago, when ethernet was faster than hard drives or even flash. Also, mobile devices have a very small amount of storage.
Nowadays, this is no longer the case so the approach is changed to using a persistent cache in the target device.

On Linux, thread IDs were not properly assigned with the current approach.
The line:
`std::thread new_thread(&Thread::callback, _thread_id_hash(thread.get_id()), p_settings, p_callback, p_user);`
does not work because the thread ID is not assigned until the thread starts.
This PR changes the behavior to use manually generated thread IDs. Additionally, if a thread is (or may have been created) outside Godot, the method `Thread::attach_external_thread` was added.
Users can still go down to 21 when using GL Compatibility.
This makes the default behavior match the default renderer, and thus avoids
a warning in the out of the box experience.
Also mark texture compression settings as basic, since out of the box users
who want to export to Android will need to enable ETC2/ASTC manually.
- Add runtime check and abort when the device doesn't meet the requirements for vulkan support
- Add filters to the AndroidManifest when exporting with a vulkan renderer
Remove the XR export logic from the legacy build system:
- On Android, Godot 4 export requires the use of Android plugins which are not supported by the legacy build system
- Provides added flexibility for configuring the Android manifest for XR specific capabilities.
* Only two texture import modes for low/high quality now:
* S3TC/BPTC
* ETC2/ASTC
* Makes sense given this is the general preferred and most compatible combination in most platforms.
* Removed lossy_quality from VRAM texture compression options. It was unused everywhere.
* Added a new "high_quality" option to texture import. When enabled, it uses BPTC/ASTC (BC7/ASTC4x4) instead of S3TC/ETC2 (DXT1-5/ETC2,ETCA).
* Changed MacOS export settings so required texture formats depend on the architecture selected.
This solves the following problems:
* Makes it simpler to import textures as high quality, without having to worry about the specific format used.
* As the editor can now run on platforms such as web, Mac OS with Apple Silicion and Android, it should no longer be assumed that S3TC/BPTC is available by default for it.
As many open source projects have started doing it, we're removing the
current year from the copyright notice, so that we don't need to bump
it every year.
It seems like only the first year of publication is technically
relevant for copyright notices, and even that seems to be something
that many companies stopped listing altogether (in a version controlled
codebase, the commits are a much better source of date of publication
than a hardcoded copyright statement).
We also now list Godot Engine contributors first as we're collectively
the current maintainers of the project, and we clarify that the
"exclusive" copyright of the co-founders covers the timespan before
opensourcing (their further contributions are included as part of Godot
Engine contributors).
Also fixed "cf." Frenchism - it's meant as "refer to / see".
Non-exhaustive list of case-sensitive renames:
GDExtension -> GDNative
GDNATIVE -> GDEXTENSION
gdextension -> gdnative
ExtensionExtension ->Extension (for where there was GDNativeExtension)
EXTENSION_EXTENSION ->EXTENSION (for where there was GDNATIVE_EXTENSION)
gdnlib -> gdextension
gdn_interface -> gde_interface
gdni -> gde_interface
