This makes it easy to retrieve the project version at runtime
for display purposes, while simplifying the export preset configuration.
You can now leave the version empty unless you need to override it on a per-preset
basis.
Since export presets save the values of default values to the `export_presets.cfg`
file, this change only affects export presets created after this commit was merged.
Move the benchmarking measuring methods from `Engine` to `OS` to allow for platform specific overrides (e.g: can be used to hook into platform specific benchmarking and tracing capabilities).
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.

* Avoid "property not found" warnings when adding a file for the first
time.
* When no file is added, disable the Generate POT button instead of
printing a warning.
Default actions are no longer internal since we want to document them.
They are still hidden from the Project Setting dialog because we hid the
whole `input/` group manually.
* Overrides no longer happen for set/get.
* They must be checked with a new function: `ProjectSettings::get_setting_with_override()`.
* GLOBAL_DEF/GLOBAL_GET updated to use this
This change solves many problems:
* General confusion about getting the actual or overriden setting.
* Feature tags available after settings are loaded were being ignored, they are now considered.
* Hacks required for the Project Settings editor to work.
Fixes#64100. Fixes#64014. Fixes#61908.
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".
This project setting was only implemented and iOS and likely served
no purpose outside of debugging during development of engine features.
It was also located in a confusing location in the project settings
editor, as it was located below a root category (which appears in bold
and is normally not seen as clickable by users).
Instantiating a new ProjectSettings is *not* the way to go.
ConfigFile works just fine to read/change a single value.
Fixes memory leaks as the instantiated ProjectSettings was never freed.
Forbid doing this to prevent such problems.
Fixes#25661.
