Add an XML schema for documentation
This makes it easier to spot syntax errors when editing the
class reference. The schema is referenced locally so validation
can still work offline.

Each class XML's schema conformance is also checked on GitHub Actions.

<brief_description>
Object that holds the project-independent editor settings.
</brief_description>
<description>
Object that holds the project-independent editor settings. These settings are generally visible in the [b]Editor &gt; Editor Settings[/b] menu.
Property names use slash delimiters to distinguish sections. Setting values can be of any [Variant] type. It's recommended to use [code]snake_case[/code] for editor settings to be consistent with the Godot editor itself.
Accessing the settings can be done using the following methods, such as:
[codeblock]
# `settings.set("some/property", value)` also works as this class overrides `_set()` internally.
settings.set_setting("some/property",value)
# `settings.get("some/property", value)` also works as this class overrides `_get()` internally.
settings.get_setting("some/property")
var list_of_settings = settings.get_property_list()
[/codeblock]
[b]Note:[/b] This class shouldn't be instantiated directly. Instead, access the singleton using [method EditorInterface.get_editor_settings].

<methods>
<method name="add_property_info">
<return type="void" />
<argument index="0" name="info" type="Dictionary" />
<description>
Adds a custom property info to a property. The dictionary must contain:
- [code]name[/code]: [String] (the name of the property)
- [code]type[/code]: [int] (see [enum Variant.Type])
- optionally [code]hint[/code]: [int] (see [enum PropertyHint]) and [code]hint_string[/code]: [String]
[b]Example:[/b]
[codeblock]
editor_settings.set("category/property_name", 0)
var property_info = {
"name": "category/property_name",
"type": TYPE_INT,
"hint": PROPERTY_HINT_ENUM,
"hint_string": "one,two,three"
}
editor_settings.add_property_info(property_info)
[/codeblock]

<method name="erase">
<return type="void" />
<argument index="0" name="property" type="String" />
<description>
Erases the setting whose name is specified by [code]property[/code].
</description>
</method>
<method name="get_favorites" qualifiers="const">
<return type="PoolStringArray" />
<description>
Returns the list of favorite files and directories for this project.

</method>
<method name="get_project_metadata" qualifiers="const">
<return type="Variant" />
<argument index="0" name="section" type="String" />
<argument index="1" name="key" type="String" />
<argument index="2" name="default" type="Variant" default="null" />
<description>
Returns project-specific metadata for the [code]section[/code] and [code]key[/code] specified. If the metadata doesn't exist, [code]default[/code] will be returned instead. See also [method set_project_metadata].
</description>
</method>
<method name="get_project_settings_dir" qualifiers="const">
<return type="String" />
<description>
Returns the project-specific settings path. Projects all have a unique subdirectory inside the settings path where project-specific settings are saved.
</description>
</method>
<method name="get_recent_dirs" qualifiers="const">
<return type="PoolStringArray" />
<description>
Returns the list of recently visited folders in the file dialog for this project.
</description>
</method>
<method name="get_setting" qualifiers="const">
<return type="Variant" />
<argument index="0" name="name" type="String" />
<description>
Returns the value of the setting specified by [code]name[/code]. This is equivalent to using [method Object.get] on the EditorSettings instance.
</description>
</method>
<method name="get_settings_dir" qualifiers="const">
<return type="String" />
<description>
Gets the global settings path for the engine. Inside this path, you can find some standard paths such as:
[code]settings/tmp[/code] - Used for temporary storage of files
[code]settings/templates[/code] - Where export templates are located
</description>
</method>
<method name="has_setting" qualifiers="const">
<return type="bool" />
<argument index="0" name="name" type="String" />
<description>
Returns [code]true[/code] if the setting specified by [code]name[/code] exists, [code]false[/code] otherwise.
</description>
</method>
<method name="property_can_revert">
<return type="bool" />
<argument index="0" name="name" type="String" />
<description>
Returns [code]true[/code] if the setting specified by [code]name[/code] can have its value reverted to the default value, [code]false[/code] otherwise. When this method returns [code]true[/code], a Revert button will display next to the setting in the Editor Settings.
</description>
</method>
<method name="property_get_revert">
<return type="Variant" />
<argument index="0" name="name" type="String" />
<description>
Returns the default value of the setting specified by [code]name[/code]. This is the value that would be applied when clicking the Revert button in the Editor Settings.
</description>
</method>
<method name="set_favorites">
<return type="void" />
<argument index="0" name="dirs" type="PoolStringArray" />
<description>
Sets the list of favorite files and directories for this project.

<method name="set_initial_value">
<return type="void" />
<argument index="0" name="name" type="String" />
<argument index="1" name="value" type="Variant" />
<argument index="2" name="update_current" type="bool" />
<description>
Sets the initial value of the setting specified by [code]name[/code] to [code]value[/code]. This is used to provide a value for the Revert button in the Editor Settings. If [code]update_current[/code] is true, the current value of the setting will be set to [code]value[/code] as well.
</description>
</method>
<method name="set_project_metadata">
<return type="void" />
<argument index="0" name="section" type="String" />
<argument index="1" name="key" type="String" />
<argument index="2" name="data" type="Variant" />
<description>
Sets project-specific metadata with the [code]section[/code], [code]key[/code] and [code]data[/code] specified. This metadata is stored outside the project folder and therefore won't be checked into version control. See also [method get_project_metadata].
</description>
</method>
<method name="set_recent_dirs">
<return type="void" />
<argument index="0" name="dirs" type="PoolStringArray" />
<description>
