Custom Visual Studio project generation logic that supports any platform that has a msvs.py
script, so Visual Studio can be used to run scons for any platform, with the right defines per target.
Invoked with `scons vsproj=yes`
To generate build configuration files for all platforms+targets+arch combinations, users should call
```
scons vsproj=yes platform=XXX target=YYY [other build flags]
```
for each combination of platform+target[+arch]. This will generate the relevant vs project files but
skip the build process, so that project files can be quickly generated without waiting for a command line
build. This lets project files be quickly generated even if there are build errors.
All possible combinations of platform+target are created in the solution file by default, but they
won't do anything until each one is set up with a scons vsproj=yes command for the respective platform
in the appropriate command line. This lets users only generate the combinations they need, and VS
won't have to parse settings for other combos.
Only platforms that opt in to vs proj generation by having a msvs.py file in the platform folder are included.
Platforms with a msvs.py file will be added to the solution, but only the current active platform+target+arch
will have a build configuration generated, because we only know what the right defines/includes/flags/etc are
on the active build target currently being processed by scons.
Platforms that don't support an editor target will have a dummy editor target that won't do anything on build,
but will have the files and configuration for the windows editor target.
To generate AND build from the command line, run
```
scons vsproj=yes vsproj_gen_only=no
```
This makes it much faster to get started with Direct3D 12 builds,
as you only need to run `python .\misc\scripts\install_d3d12_sdk_windows.py`
then run `scons d3d12=yes`.
This installs DirectX Shader Compiler, Mesa NIR, WinPixEventRuntime
and DirectX 12 Agility SDK.
- Define a default path that uses the locations from the script.
- Now the default path is in "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Godot\build_deps\"
- Updated CI to use this new python script.

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`).
Adds a new system to automatically reorder commands, perform layout transitions and insert synchronization barriers based on the commands issued to RenderingDevice.
It only introduced a difference in a .glsl file, which I've worked
around by removing an empty line. This keeps formatting consistent
between clang-format 15 and 16.
Also added a change in the 3-to-4 project converter to fix bogus
formatting in clang-format < 17.
This allows Godot to automatically compress meshes to save a lot of bandwidth.
In general, this requires no interaction from the user and should result in
no noticable quality loss.
This scheme is not backwards compatible, so we have provided an upgrade
mechanism, and a mesh versioning mechanism.
Existing meshes can still be used as a result, but users can get a
performance boost by reimporting assets.
