This is done by providing API access to app specific directories which don't have any limitations and allows us to bump the target sdk version to 30.
In addition, we're also bumping the min sdk version to 19 as version 18 is no longer supported by Google Play Services and only account of 0.3% of Android devices.
Key, touch and joystick events will be passed directly from the UI thread to Godot, so they can benefit from agile input flushing.
As another consequence of this new way of passing events, less Java object are created at runtime (`Runnable`), which is good since the garbage collector needs to run less.
`AndroidInputHandler` is introduced to have a smaller cross-thread surface. `main_loop_request_go_back()` is removed in favor just inline calling `send_window_event()` at the most caller's convenience (i.e., leveraging the new `p_deferred`` parameter as appropriate).
Lastly, `get_mouse_position()` and `get_mouse_button_state()` now just call through `Input` to avoid the need of sync of mouse data tracked on the UI thread.
Input buffering is implicitly used by event accumulation, but this commit makes it more generic so it can be enabled for other uses.
For desktop OSs it's currently not feasible given main and UI threads are the same).
- API has been simplified: all events now go through `parse_input_event()`. Whether they are accumulated or not depends on the `use_accumulated_input` flag.
- Event accumulation is now thread-safe (it was not needed so far, but it prepares the ground for the following changes).
- Touch drag events now support accumulation.
This was caused by the fact that a new instance of Godot was created at resume while a previous instance already existed.
The previous instance would then go through its cleanup lifecycle, and would thus attempt to close the entire app, leading to the system to restart the app, thus starting the cycle anew.
The fix involves reusing the previous instance of Godot if one is available instead of creating a new one, as well as giving control to the host activity for how the process should be terminated.

* Added a new macro SNAME() that constructs and caches a local stringname.
* Subsequent usages use the cached version.
* Since these use a global static variable, a second refcounter of static usages need to be kept for cleanup time.
* Replaced all theme usages by this new macro.
* Replace all signal emission usages by this new macro.
* Replace all call_deferred usages by this new macro.
This is part of ongoing work to optimize GUI and the editor.
* If not present, the dialog asks to load build sources from a file.
* The export templates check now also verifies that build sources are installed and skips the template check.
This makes Android development easier.
* This PR adds the ability to disable classes when building.
* For now it's only possible to do this via command like:
`scons disable_classes=RayCast2D,Area3D`
* Eventually, a proper UI will be implemented to create a build config file to do this at large scale, as well as detect what is used in the project.
It can be turned off in the export preset with `package/classify_as_game`.

Also fixes replacing `android:allowBackup` in custom builds.
* Shader compilation is now cached. Subsequent loads take less than a millisecond.
* Improved game, editor and project manager startup time.
* Editor uses .godot/shader_cache to store shaders.
* Game uses user://shader_cache
* Project manager uses $config_dir/shader_cache
* Options to tweak shader caching in project settings.
* Editor path configuration moved from EditorSettings to new class, EditorPaths, so it can be available early on (before shaders are compiled).
* Reworked ShaderCompilerRD to ensure deterministic shader code creation (else shader may change and cache will be invalidated).
* Added shader compression with SMOLV: https://github.com/aras-p/smol-v
- Tweak the setting property hint to be more informative.
- Make the setting a "basic" setting so it appears when Advanced Settings
is disabled.
- Remove redundant orientation setting in the iOS export preset.
The project setting is now used (like on Android).
Projects upgrading from a previous version will have to set the
screen orientation again in the Project Settings if it wasn't set
to the default value ("landscape").
We found that this flag causes this error on PR #48812 which does not add any
fancy inline assembly:
```
/tmp/tile_set-ce236a.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/tile_set-ce236a.s:34676: Error: selected processor does not support `bfc x0,#32,#32'
clang++: error: assembler command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
```
That flag is mentioned in various errors related to assembler failures on
arm64v8 with Clang from the Android NDK.
It was added in Godot in #6958 when migrating from GCC to Clang, and is indeed
referenced in the NDK's Clang migration guide:
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/ndk/+/master/docs/ClangMigration.md
> Especially for ARM and ARM64, Clang is much stricter about assembler rules
> than GCC/GAS. Use `-fno-integrated-as` if Clang reports errors in inline
> assembly or assembly files that you don't wish to modernize.
We don't get those errors nowadays so it seems the flag is no longer needed.
This changes the types of a big number of variables.
General rules:
- Using `uint64_t` in general. We also considered `int64_t` but eventually
settled on keeping it unsigned, which is also closer to what one would expect
with `size_t`/`off_t`.
- We only keep `int64_t` for `seek_end` (takes a negative offset from the end)
and for the `Variant` bindings, since `Variant::INT` is `int64_t`. This means
we only need to guard against passing negative values in `core_bind.cpp`.
- Using `uint32_t` integers for concepts not needing such a huge range, like
pages, blocks, etc.
In addition:
- Improve usage of integer types in some related places; namely, `DirAccess`,
core binds.
Note:
- On Windows, `_ftelli64` reports invalid values when using 32-bit MinGW with
version < 8.0. This was an upstream bug fixed in 8.0. It breaks support for
big files on 32-bit Windows builds made with that toolchain. We might add a
workaround.
Fixes#44363.
Fixesgodotengine/godot-proposals#400.

See discussion in #43811, it was only implemented on iOS and even that
implementation was fairly limited. This would best be provided as plugins
for Android and iOS without cluttering the shared OS API.
