Implement built-in classes Vector4, Vector4i and Projection.
* Two versions of Vector4 (float and integer).
* A Projection class, which is a 4x4 matrix specialized in projection types.
These types have been requested for a long time, but given they were very corner case they were not added before.
Because in Godot 4, reimplementing parts of the rendering engine is now possible, access to these types (heavily used by the rendering code) becomes a necessity.
**Q**: Why Projection and not Matrix4?
**A**: Godot does not use Matrix2, Matrix3, Matrix4x3, etc. naming convention because, within the engine, these types always have a *purpose*. As such, Godot names them: Transform2D, Transform3D or Basis. In this case, this 4x4 matrix is _always_ used as a _Projection_, hence the naming.
For this to work safely (user not call queue_free or something in the expression), a const call mode was added to Object and Variant (and optionally Script).
This mode ensures only const functions can be called, making it safe to use from the editor.

This PR implements:
* A new hint: PROPERTY_HINT_NODE_TYPE for variant type OBJECT, which can take specific node types as hint string.
* The editor will show it as a node path, but will set it as a pointer to a node from the current scene if you select a path.
* When scene is saved, the node path is saved, then restored as a pointer.
NOTE: This is a proof of concept and this approach will most likely not work. The reason if that, if the node referenced is deleted, then when trying to edit this the node will become invalid.
Potential workarounds: Since this uses the Variant API, it should obtain the pointer from the Variant object ID. Yet, this would either only really work in GDScript or it would need to be implemented with workarounds in every language.
Alternative ways to make this work: Nodes could export an additional property with a node path (like for which_node, it could be which_node_path).
Another alternative: Path editing could happen as a hidden metadata (ignoring the pointer).
- Add support for explicit values in properties using `PROPERTY_HINT_FLAGS`
that works the same way it does for enums.
- Fix enums and flags in VisualScriptEditor (it wasn't considering the
explicit value).
- Use `PROPERTY_HINT_FLAGS` for C# enums with the FlagsAttribute instead
of `PROPERTY_HINT_ENUM`.
These typedefs don't save much typing compared to the full `Ref<Resource>`
and `Ref<RefCounted>`, yet they sometimes introduce confusion among
new contributors.
The second parameter of the signals `EditorInspector.property_keyed` and
`EditorProperty.property_keyed_with_value` can be NIL, causing the event
to fire with less arguments when using `emit_signal` that accepts
Variant arguments, so we use the pointer version instead.
* Functions to convert to/from degrees are all gone. Conversion is done by the editor.
* Use PROPERTY_HINT_ANGLE instead of PROPERTY_HINT_RANGE to edit radian angles in degrees.
* Added possibility to add suffixes to range properties, use "min,max[,step][,suffix:<something>]" example "0,100,1,suffix:m"
* In general, can add suffixes for EditorSpinSlider
Not covered by this PR, will have to be addressed by future ones:
* Ability to switch radians/degrees in the inspector for angle properties (if actually wanted).
* Animations previously made will most likely break, need to add a way to make old ones compatible.
* Only added a "px" suffix to 2D position and a "m" one to 3D position, someone needs to go through the rest of the engine and add all remaining suffixes.
* Likely also need to track down usage of EditorSpinSlider outside properties to add suffixes to it too.
Updates rich_text_label so that the built-in documentation can be searched

Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
2020 has been a tough year for most of us personally, but a good year for
Godot development nonetheless with a huge amount of work done towards Godot
4.0 and great improvements backported to the long-lived 3.2 branch.
We've had close to 400 contributors to engine code this year, authoring near
7,000 commit! (And that's only for the `master` branch and for the engine code,
there's a lot more when counting docs, demos and other first-party repos.)
Here's to a great year 2021 for all Godot users 🎆
* Added helper functions to Skeleton3D for converting transforms from bone space to global space, and vice versa.
* Updated the Skeleton3D class reference.
* Changed the icon used for bones in the Skeleton3D inspector to use BoneAttachement3D's icon.
* Changed the Skeleton3D inspector to use EditorPropertyTransform and EditorPropertyVector3 when possible.
* Placed the Transform/Matrix for each bone in a sub-section, so it is visually similar to the Node3D inspector.
-Texture renamed to Texture2D
-TextureLayered as base now inherits 2Darray, cubemap and cubemap array
-Removed all references to flags in textures (they will go in the shader)
-Texture3D gone for now (will come back later done properly)
-Create base rasterizer for RenderDevice, RasterizerRD
Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
We're starting a new decade with a well-established, non-profit, free
and open source game engine, and tons of further improvements in the
pipeline from hundreds of contributors.
Godot will keep getting better, and we're looking forward to all the
games that the community will keep developing and releasing with it.
This makes their visual feedback more consistent with other controls.
This also makes easing lines slightly more subtle by decreasing
their opacity by 10%.
