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, before loading an extension, the editor just tried to
retrieve the extension by path to test if it's been loaded already.
While this is handled gracefully, it ignored an error thrown inside
`GDExtensionManager::get_extension()`, that would essentially still
report a not yet loaded extension to the engine's log:
```
ERROR: Condition "!E" is true. Returning: Ref<GDExtension>()
at: GDExtensionManager::get_extension (core\extension\gdextension_manager.cpp:165)
```
This change actively checks whether the extension path is known and only
then proceeds to actually return the already loaded extension or loads
and returns the new one otherwise.
This adds two functions to `GDExtensionClassCreationInfo` that allow for developers to supply a generic virtual call function along with user data to be sent to that call.
If `get_virutal_call_data_func` is not null, extensions call this function to get user data to pass to a supplied `call_virtual_with_data_func`. Both must be provided is one is provided.
If `get_virtual_call_data_func` is null, Godot falls back to the old `get_virtual_func` logic.

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.
This commit introduce separate types (e.g. GDNativeStringPtr vs GDNativeUninitializedStringPtr)
depending on if the pointed data is already initialized (C++ style where constructor is alway
called when create a variable even if it is to be passed as return value) or not (C style).
On top of that, small changes has been made to `GDNativeInterface` so that it methods are
consistent on using uninitialized return value.
* This should optimize GDScript function calling _enormously_.
* It also should simplify the GDScript VM considerably.
NOTE: GDExtension calling performance has most likely been affected until going via ptrcall is fixed.
