[macOS] Use ANGLE by default if engine is built with statically linked ANGLE.
[Windows] Add option enable/disable fallback to ANGLE and option force specific GPU to always use ANGLE.
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.

when the gpu index is specified through the CLI, that setting will
be inherited by both the editor (if started through project manager)
and instances of the game started through the editor

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.
