The changes include work done to ensure that GDNative apps and Nim
integration specifically can run on Android. The changes have been
tested on our WIP game, which uses godot-nim and depends on several
third-party .so libs, and Platformer demo to ensure nothing got broken.
- .so libraries are exported to lib/ folder in .apk, instead of assets/,
because that's where Android expects them to be and it resolves the
library name into "lib/<ABI>/<name>", where <ABI> is the ABI matching
the current device. So we establish the convention that Android .so
files in the project must be located in the folder corresponding to
the ABI they were compiled for.
- Godot callbacks (event handlers) are now called from the same thread
from which Main::iteration is called. It is also what Godot now
considers to be the main thread, because Main::setup is also called
from there. This makes threading on Android more consistent with
other platforms, making the code that depends on Thread::get_main_id
more portable (GDNative has such code).
- Sizes of GDNative API types have been fixed to work on 32-bit
platforms.
- The Windows, UWP, Android (on Windows) and Linux builds are
tested with Scons 3.0 alpha using Python 3.
- OSX and iOS should hopefully work but are not tested since
I don't have a Mac.
- Builds using SCons 2.5 and Python 2 should not be impacted.
Currently we rely on some undefined behavior when Object->cast_to() gets
called with a Null pointer. This used to work fine with GCC < 6 but
newer versions of GCC remove all codepaths in which the this pointer is
Null. However, the non-static cast_to() was supposed to be null safe.
This patch makes cast_to() Null safe and removes the now redundant Null
checks where they existed.

- Fixes some single-dash leftovers that were missed in the previous commit
- Reorder the help output for clarity, and document missing options
- Drop obsolete options: --noop, --pack, --editor-scene, --level, --import, --import-script, --no-quit
- Improve error message on malformed arguments and do not display help on error
- Always use long form of arguments when starting a new Godot process from C++, for clarity and easy grepping
- Cleanup obsolete code here and there

The fix (inserting a fake event so actions get released properly) was already there but disregarded the case when the hardware sends values in the [0;1] range.
