- Implements the concept of GDExtension loaders that can be used to customize how GDExtensions are loaded and initialized.
- Moves the parsing of `.gdextension` config files to the new `GDExtensionLibraryLoader`.
- `GDExtensionManager` is now meant to be the main way to load/unload extensions and can optionally take a `GDExtensionLoader`.
- `EditorFileSystem` avoids unloading extensions if the file still exists, this should prevent unloading extensions that are outside the user project.
Adds two new GDExtension interface methods:
- `editor_help_load_xml_from_utf8_chars`
- `editor_help_load_xml_from_utf8_chars_and_len`
Both of these methods parse the XML passed into an extra documentation
container which, when needed, is merged into the main doc container.

Previously the `p_reversed` parameter didn't influence the order
in a correct way.
Also script overridden _notification functions were not called in
the correct order.
To fix this some `notification` functions had to add a `p_reversed`
parameter.
This made it necessary to adjust cpp-bindings.

This is done only in the editor and only on Windows, to avoid a file
lock that prevents the original library being updated (e.g. by a
compiler).
When the game runs it will load the original DLL and pick up any
changes, only the editor will stay with the copy (until it is restarted
and create a new copy).
The copy is done in place by prepending a `~` to the original file name,
so dependencies that are loaded with a relative file path still work.
When the library is unloaded the copy file is deleted. The copy is also
marked as hidden to not show up in explorer.
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".
