* Add API: `EditorFileSystem::reimport_append(path)`, thread safe, what can be used from importers when they generate new files within the import process.
* Added a `remap.gen_param` custom value to .import files, which can be used by importers to store data needed to generate this file again or not.
This API is added to allow the GLTF2 importer to properly extract png files as textures.
* Works for binary and text files.
* Makes EditorQuickOpen work with custom resources again.
* Information is cached and easily accessible.
Properly fixes#66179. Supersedes #66215 and supersedes #62417
**WARNING**: This required breaking backwards binary compatibility (.res and .scn files). Files saved after this PR is merged will no longer open in any earlier versions of Godot.
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".
* Map is unnecessary and inefficient in almost every case.
* Replaced by the new HashMap.
* Renamed Map to RBMap and Set to RBSet for cases that still make sense
(order matters) but use is discouraged.
There were very few cases where replacing by HashMap was undesired because
keeping the key order was intended.
I tried to keep those (as RBMap) as much as possible, but might have missed
some. Review appreciated!
This PR is a continuation to #54886
* Changed Blender path editor setting from binary to installation.
* Add a class to query whether the format is supported.
* This class allows to create proper editors to configure support.
**NOTE**: This PR only provides autodetection on Linux. Code needs to be added for Windows and MacOS to autodetect the Blender installation.

* Extensions are now scanned and loaded on demand.
* Extensions found are cached into a file that is used to load them (which is also exported).
* Editor will ask to restart when an extension requires core functionality.
* Editor will attempt to load extensions always before importing or loading scenes. This ensures extensions can register the relevant types.
* Most resource types now have unique identifiers.
* Applies to text, binary and imported resources.
* File formats reference both by text and UID (when available). UID always has priority.
* Resource UIDs are 64 bits for better compatibility with the engine.
* Can be represented and used textually, example `uuid://dapwmgsmnl28u`.
* A special binary cache file is used and exported, containing the mappings.
Example of how it looks:
```GDScript
[gd_scene load_steps=2 format=3 uid="uid://dw86wq31afig2"]
[ext_resource type="PackedScene" uid="uid://bt36ojelx8q6c" path="res://subscene.scn" id="1_t56hs"]
```
GDScript, shaders and other special resource files can't currently provide UIDs, but this should be doable with special keywords on the files.
This will be reserved for future PRs.
