Increase the maximum number of octaves in OpenSimplexNoise to 9
An error message is now printed when trying to set the number of octaves
above the maximum allowed value.

The magic constant was also replaced with a define that can be
easily changed.

This closes #28714.

Noise generator based on Open Simplex.
</brief_description>
<description>
This resource allows you to configure and sample a fractal noise space. Here is a brief usage example that configures an OpenSimplexNoise and gets samples at various positions and dimensions:
[codeblock]
var noise = OpenSimplexNoise.new()
# Configure
noise.seed = randi()
noise.octaves = 4
noise.period = 20.0
noise.persistence = 0.8
# Sample
print("Values:")
print(noise.get_noise_2d(1.0, 1.0))
print(noise.get_noise_3d(0.5, 3.0, 15.0))
print(noise.get_noise_4d(0.5, 1.9, 4.7, 0.0))
[/codeblock]

<members>
<member name="lacunarity" type="float" setter="set_lacunarity" getter="get_lacunarity" default="2.0">
Difference in period between [member octaves].
</member>
<member name="octaves" type="int" setter="set_octaves" getter="get_octaves" default="3">
Number of OpenSimplex noise layers that are sampled to get the fractal noise. Higher values result in more detailed noise but take more time to generate.
[b]Note:[/b] The maximum allowed value is 9.
</member>
<member name="period" type="float" setter="set_period" getter="get_period" default="64.0">
Period of the base octave. A lower period results in a higher-frequency noise (more value changes across the same distance).
</member>
<member name="persistence" type="float" setter="set_persistence" getter="get_persistence" default="0.5">
Contribution factor of the different octaves. A [code]persistence[/code] value of 1 means all the octaves have the same contribution, a value of 0.5 means each octave contributes half as much as the previous one.
</member>
<member name="seed" type="int" setter="set_seed" getter="get_seed" default="0">
Seed used to generate random values, different seeds will generate different noise maps.
