Also shuffles some method definitions and declarations to be more consistent with the way the Variant types are ordered across the codebase.
And removes an unnecessary JSON assign (`JSON::stringify` can now be accessed statically)
This adds a new enum `KeyLocation` and associated property
`InputEventKey.location`, which indicates the left/right location of key
events which may come from one of two physical keys, eg. Shift, Ctrl.
It also adds simulation of missing Shift KEYUP events for Windows.
When multiple Shifts are held down at the same time, Windows natively
only sends a KEYUP for the last one to be released.
These errors are very common when using an invalid property name
or calling on an object of the wrong type, and the previous message
was a bit cryptic for users.

Hash comparison for Variant continues to perform semantic/logical comparison with NaN's considered equal by default (to prevent #16114, #7354, #6947, #8081), but now optionally allows for numeric comparison that does not consider NaN's equal to support proper value comparison (for #72222)
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".
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.

When a type is shared (i.e. passed by reference) it doesn't need to be
called in a setter chain (e.g. `a.b.c = 0`) since it will be updated in
place.
This commit adds an instruction that jumps when the value is shared so
it can be used to skip those cases and avoid redundant calls of setters.
It also solves issues when assigning to sub-properties of read-only
properties.
* Very old macros from the time Godot was created.
* Limited arguments to 5 (then later changed to 8) in many places.
* They were replaced by C++11 Variadic Templates.
* Renamed methods that take argument pointers to have a "p" suffix. This was used in some places and not in others, so made it standard.
* Also added a dereference check for Variant*. Helped catch a couple of bugs.
