* Based on the work done for Variant in the past.
* Added `ClassDB::bind_static_method`
* Cleaned up ClassDB::bind_method to use variadic templates.
This adds support for having static methods in Object derived classes.
Note that this does not make it work yet in GDScript or Mono and, while it works for GDExtension, GodotCPP needs to be updated.
* Allows creating a GDExtension based 3D Physics Server (for Bullet, PhysX, etc. support)
* Some changes on native struct binding for PhysicsServer
This allows a 3D Physics server created entirely from GDExtension. Once it works, the idea is to port the 2D one to it.
* Allows calling into native extensions directly with a pointer
* Makes it easier to implement some APIs more efficiently
* Appears with a "*" in the documentation for the argument.
* Implementing the pointer handling is entirely up to the implementation, although the extension API provides some hint.
* AudioStream has been implemented as an example, allowing to create NativeExtension based AudioStreams.
* New syntax is type safe.
* New syntax allows for type safe virtuals in native extensions.
* New syntax permits extremely fast calling.
Note: Everything was replaced where possible except for `_gui_input` `_input` and `_unhandled_input`.
These will require API rework on a separate PR as they work different than the rest of the functions.
Added a new method flag METHOD_FLAG_OBJECT_CORE, used internally. Allows to not dump the core virtuals like `_notification` to the json API, since each language will implement those as it is best fits.
- Fix library loading and initialization.
- Add extra methods/parameters in the interface needed by extenstions.
- Add Variant destructors and functions for extracting values and
creating Variants from values.
- Fix type size information.
- Validate sizes at compile time (for the current build configuration
only).
- Normalize type names.
- Add extra information.

* Deprecates GDNative in favor of a simpler, lower level interface.
* New extension system allows registering core engine classes.
* Simple header interface in gdnative_interace.h
