`OS.shell_open()` will pass on the path directly to the OS' shell
handler (which can handle file paths or URLs). It can't handle
Godot-specific paths, so these need to be converted with
`ProjectSettings.globalize_path()` first.

Although 2D draws in painters order with strict ordering, in certain circumstances items can be reordered to increase batching / decrease state changes, without affecting the end result. This can be determined by an overlap test.
In situation with item:
A-B-A
providing the third item does not overlap the second, they can be reordered:
A-A-B
Items already contain an AABB which can be used for this overlap test.
1)
To utilise this, I have implemented item reordering (only for single rects for now), with the lookahead adjustable in project settings. This can increase performance in situations where items may not be grouped in the scene tree by texture. It can also be switched off (by setting lookahead to 0).
2)
This same trick can be used to help join items that are lit. Lit items previously would prevent joining completely, thus missing out on performance gains other than multi-command items such as tilemaps.
In this PR, lights are assigned as bits in a bitfield (up to 64, the optimization is disabled above this), and on each try_item (for joining), the bitfield for lights and shadows is constructed and compared with the previous items. If these match the 2 items can potentially be joined. However, this can only be done without changing the rendered result if an overlap test is successful.
This overlap test can be adjusted to join items up to a specific number of item references, selectable in project settings, or turned off.
3)
The legacy uniform single rect drawing routine seems to have been identified as the source of flicker, particularly on nvidia. However, it can also be up to 2x as fast. Because of the speed the batching contains a fallback where it can use the legacy single rect method, but I have now added a project setting to make this switchable. In most cases with batching it should not be necessary (as single rects are drawn less frequently) and thus the flickering can be totally avoided.
4)
This PR also fixes a color modulate bug when drawing light passes, in certain situations (particularly custom _draw routines with multiple rects).
5)
This PR also fixes#38291, a bug in the legacy renderer where light passes could draw rects in wrong position.
This references Godot's winding order at the top of every
procedural geometry class, as well as referencing other classes
within a given geometry class.
A warning about ImmediateGeometry3D performance was also added.

This also replaces a non-breaking space that was accidentally added in
the EditorFeatureProfile documentation.
This closes#31393.
(cherry picked from commit 2f46f1e7b1)
Added project setting to enable / disable print frame diagnostics every 10 seconds. This prints out a list of batches and info, which is useful to optimize games and identify performance problems.
I had no idea what 'coordinate' meant in the context of autotiles, so just adding some clarification for future people who have the same problem.

* Added additional clarification for the function of the 'deep'
parameter in the Dictionary's `duplicate` method.
(cherry picked from commit 469b7c948f)
* item_selected and item_focused docs incorrectly had 'id' as the parameter. Changed to
'index'.
* Fix parameter name in ADD_SIGNAL callin code.
(cherry picked from commit a8de034f78)
Added information about the intervals of values that the functions
`store_{8,16,32,64}()` can correctly write to the file.

Godot by default has a limit of 16 reflection probes in a scene. this can be increased by increasing atlas subdiv. For 3.2 and possibly 4.0. This also fixes a spelling mistake

2d rendering is currently bottlenecked by drawing primitives one at a time, limiting OpenGL efficiency. This PR batches primitives and renders in fewer drawcalls, resulting in significant performance improvements. This also speeds up text rendering.
This PR batches across canvas items as well as within items.
The code dynamically chooses between a vertex format with and without color, depending on the input data for a frame, in order to optimize throughput and maximize batch size. It also adds an option to use glScissor to reduce fillrate in light passes.
The name of the property responsible for physics fps is fixed:
this is `Engine.iterations_per_second`, not `Engine.target_fps`.

Signal bone_setup_changed remains undocumented. I took a quick look at
the cpp code, but its purpose remained unclear to me. If anyone can
steer me in the right direction, I'm happy to flesh this out.

- Duplicate the header when the `-a` flag is enabled. Since lots of
items are displayed in this case, this helps the user remember
which column is which without having to scroll back to the top.
- Bolden the overall percentages for easier visual grepping.

Many newcomers are confused about which one to choose for animating
properties. This should help clarify the situation with regards
to AnimationPlayer versus Tween.

We already removed it from the online docs with #35132.
Currently it can only be "Built-In Types" (Variant types) or "Core"
(everything else), which is of limited use.
We might also want to consider dropping it from `ClassDB` altogether
in Godot 4.0.
- Add some missing descriptions.
- Add links to tutorials for ARVR and AnimationTree.
- Style fixes.
- Engine changes:
* Make `AnimationNodeTransition.input_<number>` properties internal
so that they don't appear in the docs. They still appear in the
inspector based on the actual number of inputs requested.
* Drop unimplemented `CPUParticles.flatness`. It's only used for 3D
particles in `ParticlesMaterial`, and thus only relevant for
`CPUParticles3D`.
I improved dictionary description to ad some real life examples and expand on it a little bit so person who never seen dictionary can understand it better seeing them for a first time here.
I also added note about the way to compare dictionaries as it can catch people of guard because common assumption is that it works the same as comparing Arrays when it does not.
Reverts the following commits:
- c81ec6f26d:
"Exposes capture methods to AudioServer, variable renames for
consistency, added documentation."
- 47c558b98a:
"Expose audio callbacks as signals."
- dabaa11b3c:
"Fix to make sure the capture buffers are deallocated at shutdown.
Silences warnings."
Some documentation improvements were kept for pre-existing methods.
See rationale for reverting these changes in #30468.
It mostly fixes issues I have listed in https://github.com/godotengine/godot-docs/issues/3065 where GraphNode description was rather lacking clarity. It was near impossible how to use the them or how to create new slots etc.
I improved it quite a bit if anyone has idea how to reword original "A tuple of input and output slots is defined for each GUI element included in the GraphNode." I would love to hear it. I am unsure how to word it in more understandable way.
* Recently supported macOS shortcuts are added
* Makes it clear than `set_text` won't trigger `text_changed`
* `minimum_spaces` is the number of space characters that can be shown
without scrolling
