During the import process, many importer nodes are replaced with their
engine node counterparts. For example, ImporterMeshInstance3D is
replaced with a MeshInstance3D node. Any meta data set on these
importer nodes, i.e. through a GLTFDocumentExtension, are lost during
the conversion. This change copies over any meta data set on these
importer nodes to their engine counterparts.
This update introduces a new import method for FBX files using ufbx. If the fbx2gltf import fails, it will use the most recently cached scene from the ufbx import. The process is sped up by introducing threads to load the ufbx portion.
Key changes include:
- Support for importing geometry helper nodes in FBX files.
- Addition of cameras and lights with updated names.
- Removal of the fbx importer manager.
- Introduction of ModelDocument3D and updates to its methods.
- Changes to FBX import options and visibility.
- Updating the documentation and handling some errors.
- Store the original non-unique node, mesh and animation names in FBX and glTF.

This applies our existing style guide, and adds a new rule to that style
guide for modular components such as platform ports and modules:
Includes from the platform port or module ("local" includes) should be listed
first in their own block using relative paths, before Godot's "core" includes
which use "absolute" (project folder relative) paths, and finally thirdparty
includes.
Includes in `#ifdef`s come after their relevant section, i.e. the overall
structure is:
- Local includes
* Conditional local includes
- Core includes
* Conditional core includes
- Thirdparty includes
* Conditional thirdparty includes
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".
