Upon investigating the extremely slow MSVC build times in #80513, I noticed
that while Godot policy is to never use exceptions, we weren't enforcing it
with compiler flags, and thus still included exception handling code and
stack unwinding.
This is wasteful on multiple aspects:
- Binary size: Around 20% binary size reduction with exceptions disabled
for both MSVC and GCC binaries.
- Compile time:
* More than 50% build time reduction with MSVC.
* 10% to 25% build time reduction with GCC + LTO.
- Performance: Possibly, needs to be benchmarked.
Since users may want to re-enable exceptions in their own thirdparty code
or the libraries they compile with Godot, this behavior can be toggled with
the `disable_exceptions` SCons option, which defaults to true.
When saving resources, marking of already seen resources was
done too late, causing infinite loop traversing referenced resources
and eventual stack overflow. The change marks traversed resource
before descending to it's children, thus when this resource is
encountered again, it is already marked as seen and traversal stops.
Fixes#46682.
Also fix unit test suite to separate generic FileAccess CSV testing
from using CSV as translation. And add more CSV translation tests.

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".
This was removed in #63481, and we confirmed that it's better like this,
but we add back the possibility to strip CR as an option, to optionally
restore the previous behavior.
For performance this is done directly in `String::parse_utf8`.
Also fixes Android `FileAccess::get_line()` as this one _should_ strip CR.
Supersedes #63717.
* API kept the same (Although functions could be renamed to set_metadata/get_metadata in a later PR), so not much should change.
* Metadata now exposed as individual properties.
* Properties are editable in inspector (unless metadata name begins with _) under the metadata/ namespace.
* Added the ability to Add/Remove metadata properties to the inspector.
This is a functionality that was requested very often, that makes metadata work a bit more similar to custom properties in Blender.
