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).

A 3D convex polyhedron shape used for physics collision.
</brief_description>
<description>
A 3D convex polyhedron shape, intended for use in physics. Usually used to provide a shape for a [CollisionShape3D].
[ConvexPolygonShape3D] is [i]solid[/i], which means it detects collisions from objects that are fully inside it, unlike [ConcavePolygonShape3D] which is hollow. This makes it more suitable for both detection and physics.
[b]Convex decomposition:[/b] A concave polyhedron can be split up into several convex polyhedra. This allows dynamic physics bodies to have complex concave collisions (at a performance cost) and can be achieved by using several [ConvexPolygonShape3D] nodes. To generate a convex decomposition from a mesh, select the [MeshInstance3D] node, go to the [b]Mesh[/b] menu that appears above the viewport, and choose [b]Create Multiple Convex Collision Siblings[/b]. Alternatively, [method MeshInstance3D.create_multiple_convex_collisions] can be called in a script to perform this decomposition at run-time.
[b]Performance:[/b] [ConvexPolygonShape3D] is faster to check collisions against compared to [ConcavePolygonShape3D], but it is slower than primitive collision shapes such as [SphereShape3D] and [BoxShape3D]. Its use should generally be limited to medium-sized objects that cannot have their collision accurately represented by primitive shapes.
