Doctool: Remove version attribute from XML header
We don't use that info for anything, and it generates unnecessary diffs
every time we bump the minor version (and CI failures if we forget to
sync some files from opt-in modules (mono, text_server_fb).

<brief_description>
A singleton for loading resource files.
</brief_description>
<description>
A singleton used to load resource files from the filesystem.
It uses the many [ResourceFormatLoader] classes registered in the engine (either built-in or from a plugin) to load files into memory and convert them to a format that can be used by the engine.
[b]Note:[/b] You have to import the files into the engine first to load them using [method load]. If you want to load [Image]s at run-time, you may use [method Image.load]. If you want to import audio files, you can use the snippet described in [member AudioStreamMP3.data].

<methods>
<method name="add_resource_format_loader">
<return type="void" />
<param index="0" name="format_loader" type="ResourceFormatLoader" />
<param index="1" name="at_front" type="bool" default="false" />
<description>
Registers a new [ResourceFormatLoader]. The ResourceLoader will use the ResourceFormatLoader as described in [method load].
This method is performed implicitly for ResourceFormatLoaders written in GDScript (see [ResourceFormatLoader] for more information).
</description>
</method>
<method name="exists">
<return type="bool" />
<param index="0" name="path" type="String" />
<param index="1" name="type_hint" type="String" default="&quot;&quot;" />
<description>
Returns whether a recognized resource exists for the given [param path].
An optional [param type_hint] can be used to further specify the [Resource] type that should be handled by the [ResourceFormatLoader]. Anything that inherits from [Resource] can be used as a type hint, for example [Image].
</description>
</method>
<method name="get_dependencies">
<return type="PackedStringArray" />
<param index="0" name="path" type="String" />
<description>
Returns the dependencies for the resource at the given [param path].
</description>
</method>
<method name="get_recognized_extensions_for_type">
<return type="PackedStringArray" />
<param index="0" name="type" type="String" />
<description>
Returns the list of recognized extensions for a resource type.
</description>
</method>
<method name="get_resource_uid">
<return type="int" />
<param index="0" name="path" type="String" />
<description>
Returns the ID associated with a given resource path, or [code]-1[/code] when no such ID exists.
</description>
</method>
<method name="has_cached">
<return type="bool" />
<param index="0" name="path" type="String" />
<description>
Returns whether a cached resource is available for the given [param path].
Once a resource has been loaded by the engine, it is cached in memory for faster access, and future calls to the [method load] method will use the cached version. The cached resource can be overridden by using [method Resource.take_over_path] on a new resource for that same path.
</description>
</method>
<method name="load">
<return type="Resource" />
<param index="0" name="path" type="String" />
<param index="1" name="type_hint" type="String" default="&quot;&quot;" />
<param index="2" name="cache_mode" type="int" enum="ResourceLoader.CacheMode" default="1" />
<description>
Loads a resource at the given [param path], caching the result for further access.
The registered [ResourceFormatLoader]s are queried sequentially to find the first one which can handle the file's extension, and then attempt loading. If loading fails, the remaining ResourceFormatLoaders are also attempted.
An optional [param type_hint] can be used to further specify the [Resource] type that should be handled by the [ResourceFormatLoader]. Anything that inherits from [Resource] can be used as a type hint, for example [Image].
The [param cache_mode] property defines whether and how the cache should be used or updated when loading the resource. See [enum CacheMode] for details.
Returns an empty resource if no [ResourceFormatLoader] could handle the file.
GDScript has a simplified [method @GDScript.load] built-in method which can be used in most situations, leaving the use of [ResourceLoader] for more advanced scenarios.
[b]Note:[/b] If [member ProjectSettings.editor/export/convert_text_resources_to_binary] is [code]true[/code], [method @GDScript.load] will not be able to read converted files in an exported project. If you rely on run-time loading of files present within the PCK, set [member ProjectSettings.editor/export/convert_text_resources_to_binary] to [code]false[/code].
</description>
</method>
<method name="load_threaded_get">
<return type="Resource" />
<param index="0" name="path" type="String" />
<description>
Returns the resource loaded by [method load_threaded_request].
If this is called before the loading thread is done (i.e. [method load_threaded_get_status] is not [constant THREAD_LOAD_LOADED]), the calling thread will be blocked until the resource has finished loading.
</description>
</method>
<method name="load_threaded_get_status">
<return type="int" enum="ResourceLoader.ThreadLoadStatus" />
<param index="0" name="path" type="String" />
<param index="1" name="progress" type="Array" default="[]" />
<description>
Returns the status of a threaded loading operation started with [method load_threaded_request] for the resource at [param path]. See [enum ThreadLoadStatus] for possible return values.
An array variable can optionally be passed via [param progress], and will return a one-element array containing the percentage of completion of the threaded loading.
</description>
</method>
<method name="load_threaded_request">
<return type="int" enum="Error" />
<param index="0" name="path" type="String" />
<param index="1" name="type_hint" type="String" default="&quot;&quot;" />
<param index="2" name="use_sub_threads" type="bool" default="false" />
<param index="3" name="cache_mode" type="int" enum="ResourceLoader.CacheMode" default="1" />
<description>
Loads the resource using threads. If [param use_sub_threads] is [code]true[/code], multiple threads will be used to load the resource, which makes loading faster, but may affect the main thread (and thus cause game slowdowns).
The [param cache_mode] property defines whether and how the cache should be used or updated when loading the resource. See [enum CacheMode] for details.
</description>
</method>
<method name="remove_resource_format_loader">
<return type="void" />
<param index="0" name="format_loader" type="ResourceFormatLoader" />
<description>
Unregisters the given [ResourceFormatLoader].
</description>
</method>
<method name="set_abort_on_missing_resources">
<return type="void" />
<param index="0" name="abort" type="bool" />
<description>
Changes the behavior on missing sub-resources. The default behavior is to abort loading.
</description>
