* Servers now use WorkerThreadPool for background computation.
* This helps keep the number of threads used fixed at all times.
* It also ensures everything works on HTML5 with threads.
* And makes it easier to support disabling threads for also HTML5.
CommandQueueMT now syncs with the servers via the WorkerThreadPool
yielding mechanism, which makes its classic main sync semaphore
superfluous.
Also, some warnings about calls that kill performance when using
threaded rendering are removed because there's a mechanism that
warns about that in a more general fashion.

- `Main::setup` early exits (failure or `--help`/`--version`) now
consistently return `EXIT_FAILURE` or `EXIT_SUCCESS` on all platforms,
instead of 255 on some and a Godot Error code on others.
- `Main::start` now returns the exit code, simplifying the handling of early
failures.
- `Main::iteration` needs to explicit set the exit code in OS if it errors
out.
- Web and iOS now properly return `OS::get_exit_code()` instead of 0.

Also, distinguish between main pack and DLC packs.
It's desirable to downloaded content to be as small as possible. This change avoids bloating non-main pack files with new versions of resources that are all read on startup and never used again. They have no effect if loaded after startup.
- project.godot/project.binary file
- extension_list.cfg
- app icon and boot_splash
- .ico and .icns files (these can still be opted in for DLC by listing them explicitly in the include filter)
This can be used to quickly see how recent a development build is,
without having to look up the commit date manually.
When juggling around with various builds (e.g. for benchmarking),
this can also be used to ensure that you're actually running the
binary you intended to run.
The date stored is the date of the Git commit that is built, not
the current date at the time of building the binary. This ensures
binaries can remain reproducible.
The version timestamp can be accessed using the `timestamp` key
of the `Engine.get_version_info()` return value.

ReShade can still be used on projects run from the editor as well
as exported projects.
This avoids several issues:
- ReShade doesn't play well with low-processor mode, making it hard
to use unless the Update Continuously editor setting is enabled.
- The ReShade overlay appears on every popup opened, which made popups
unusable.
- If you use a ReShade configuration that heavily affects the image,
it won't affect the editor UI which may become unreadable as a result.
This doesn't affect the editor being run via OpenGL or Direct3D 12
as ReShade is injected in a different manner when using those graphics
APIs.
The way that it was implemented before allowed for the project property
to spill over to the editor if the `prefer_wayland` property is not
present which, while not completely likely, is still a possibility. This
specific part is thus more of a correctness change, ensuring that we
always enforce the default display server when not running a project.
This commit also removes the restart requirement for the relative
display driver project settings as they're independent and a restart
would do nothing useful.
Not everything is yet implemented, either for Godot or personal
limitations (I don't have all hardware in the world). A brief list of
the most important issues follows:
- Single-window only: the `DisplayServer` API doesn't expose enough
information for properly creating XDG shell windows.
- Very dumb rendering loop: this is very complicated, just know that
the low consumption mode is forced to 2000 Hz and some clever hacks are
in place to overcome a specific Wayland limitation. This will be
improved to the extent possible both downstream and upstream.
- Features to implement yet: IME, touch input, native file dialog,
drawing tablet (commented out due to a refactor), screen recording.
- Mouse passthrough can't be implement through a poly API, we need a
rect-based one.
- The cursor doesn't yet support fractional scaling.
- Auto scale is rounded up when using fractional scaling as we don't
have a per-window scale query API (basically we need
`DisplayServer::window_get_scale`).
- Building with `x11=no wayland=yes opengl=yes openxr=yes` fails.
This also adds a new project property and editor setting for selecting the
default DisplayServer to start, to allow this backend to start first in
exported projects (X11 is still the default for now). The editor setting
always overrides the project setting.

This works even if file logging is disabled in the project settings,
or for the editor/project manager.
`--log-file`'s value can be an absolute path or relative to the project
directory (similar to existing arguments like `--write-movie`).
This commits rewrites the sync logic in a way that the
`use_system_threads_for_low_priority_tasks` setting, which was added due to
the lack of a cross-platform wait-for-multiple-objects functionality, can be
removed (it's as if it was effectively hardcoded to `false`).
With the new implementation, we have the best of both worlds: threads don't
have to poll, plus no bespoke threads are used.
In addition, regarding deadlock prevention, since not every possible case of
wait-deadlock could be avoided, this commits removes the current best-effort
avoidance mechanisms and keeps only a simple, pessimistic way of detection.
It turns out that the only current user of deadlock prevention, ResourceLoader,
works fine with it and so every possible situation in resource loading is now
properly handled, with no possibilities of deadlocking. There's a comment in
the code with further details.
Lastly, a potential for load tasks never being awaited/disposed is cleared.
This is helpful for newcomers setting up Godot on CI, as this provides
automatic guidance as for why it doesn't run out of the box if
there's no X11 server available.

The UWP platform port was never ported to the Godot 4.0+ API,
and it's now accumulating bitrot as it doesn't compile, and thus
we no longer propagate platform changes in it.
So we finally remove to acknowledge this state. There's still some
interest in reviving the UWP port eventually, especially as support
for Direct3D 12 will soon be merged, but when that happens it will
be easiest to redo it from scratch.
I wanted to add this tool for years and always forget. This command line option:
```
$ godot.exe -e --debug-canvas-item-redraw
```
Allows to see when a canvas item is redrawn. This helps find out if something
in the UI is refreshing in a way it should not. Examples as such:
* Signals causing more of the UI to redraw.
* Container resizing causes more UI elements to redraw.
* Something using a timer is redrawing all time time, which can go unnoticed.
To my surprise, the editor UI is redrawing very efficiently. There is some
weird stuff with the scene tabs, redrawing when the inspector changes but most
things for the most part are fine.
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.
Integer scaling is achieved (after aspect expansion) by "lying" to the
stretching code about the window's size, telling it that it's always an
integer multiple of the viewport so that it only gets stretched to an
integer factor.
This approach works with all stretch and aspect modes and doesn't
require handling for each, only requiring to "loosen up" some
self-excluding conditions (in other words, replacing some `else if`s
with just `if`s) regarding viewport offset and margin calculation (black
bars).
Includes a tiny usability change that adds a range hint for the content
scale factor between 0.5 to 8.0.

This allows limiting framerate on any project, which is useful to
reduce power usage and latency with certain setups (such as VRR displays).
This is particularly useful in projects that do not expose a setting to change
the FPS limit. While external FPS limiters can be used, they can be cumbersome
to set up and result in increased input lag compared to a built-in FPS limiter.

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).
Frame deltas are currently measured by querying the OS timer each frame. This is subject to random error. Frame delta smoothing instead filters the delta read from the OS by replacing it with the refresh rate delta wherever possible.
This PR also contains code to estimate the refresh rate based on the input deltas, without reading the refresh rate from the host OS.
The delta_smooth_enabled setting can also be modified at runtime through OS::, and there is also now a command line setting to override the project setting.
This adds a way to ensure that methods that were modified in the Godot API will continue working in older builds of GDExtension even if the new signature is different.
```C++
// New version (changed)
ClassDB::bind_method(D_METHOD("add_sphere","radius","position"),&MyShapes::add_sphere);
// Compatibility version (still available to extensions).
ClassDB::bind_compatibility_method(D_METHOD("add_sphere","radius"),&MyShapes::_compat_add_sphere);
```
**Q**: If I add an extra argument and provide a default value (hence can still be called the same), do I still have to provide the compatibility version?
**A**: Yes, you must still provide a compatibility method. Most language bindings use the raw method pointer to do the call and process the default parameters in the binding language, hence if the actual method signature changes it will no longer work.
**Q**: If I removed a method, can I still bind a compatibility version even though the main method no longer exists?
**A**: Yes, for methods that were removed or renamed, compatibility versions can still be provided.
**Q**: Would it be possible to automate checking that methods were removed by mistake?
**A**: Yes, as part of a future PR, the idea is to add a a command line option to Godot that can be run like : `$ godot --test-api-compatibility older_api_dump.json`, which will also be integrated to the CI runs.
- Fix project settings being ignored.
- Made usages of `native_thread_allocator` thread-safe.
- Remove redundant thread-safety from `low_priority_threads_used`, `exit_threads`.
- Fix deadlock due to unintended extra lock of `task_mutex`.
* Node processing works on the concept of process groups.
* A node group can be inherited, run on main thread, or a sub-thread.
* Groups can be ordered.
* Process priority is now present for physics.
This is the first steps towards implementing https://github.com/godotengine/godot-proposals/issues/6424.
No threading or thread guards exist yet in most of the scene code other than Node. That will have to be added later.
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.

On Linux, thread IDs were not properly assigned with the current approach.
The line:
`std::thread new_thread(&Thread::callback, _thread_id_hash(thread.get_id()), p_settings, p_callback, p_user);`
does not work because the thread ID is not assigned until the thread starts.
This PR changes the behavior to use manually generated thread IDs. Additionally, if a thread is (or may have been created) outside Godot, the method `Thread::attach_external_thread` was added.
