simpu bfadb882b1 Added Custom Performance Monitor and feature to read intermediate values of Monitor
Custom monitors can be added/removed/checked using `Performance.add_custom_monitor`/`Performance.remove_custom_monitor`/`Performance.has_custom_monitor`

The value can be viewed in the `Monitor` tab of Debugger.

Text before `/` is used to categorize the custom monitor.

`EditorPerformanceProfiler` class is created to separate logic from `ScriptEditorDebugger`

User can click on the graph of monitors to read the value at that point.

Graph includes intermediate base lines.

<brief_description>
Exposes performance-related data.
</brief_description>
<description>
This class provides access to a number of different monitors related to performance, such as memory usage, draw calls, and FPS. These are the same as the values displayed in the [b]Monitor[/b] tab in the editor's [b]Debugger[/b] panel. By using the [method get_monitor] method of this class, you can access this data from your code.
You can add custom monitors using the [method add_custom_monitor] method. Custom monitors are available in [b]Monitor[/b] tab in the editor's [b]Debugger[/b] panel together with built-in monitors.
[b]Note:[/b] A few of these monitors are only available in debug mode and will always return 0 when used in a release build.
[b]Note:[/b] Many of these monitors are not updated in real-time, so there may be a short delay between changes.
[b]Note:[/b] Custom monitors do not support negative values. Negative values are clamped to 0.

<description>
Adds a custom monitor with name same as id. You can specify the category of monitor using '/' in id. If there are more than one '/' then default category is used. Default category is "Custom".
[codeblock]
Performance.add_custom_monitor("MyCategory/MyMonitor", some_callable) # Adds monitor with name "MyName" to category "MyCategory"
Performance.add_custom_monitor("MyMonitor", some_callable) # Adds monitor with name "MyName" to category "Custom"
# Note: "MyCategory/MyMonitor" and "MyMonitor" have same name but different ids so above code is valid
Performance.add_custom_monitor("Custom/MyMonitor", some_callable) # Adds monitor with name "MyName" to category "Custom"
# Note: "MyMonitor" and "Custom/MyMonitor" have same name and same category but different ids so above code is valid
Performance.add_custom_monitor("MyCategoryOne/MyCategoryTwo/MyMonitor", some_callable) # Adds monitor with name "MyCategoryOne/MyCategoryTwo/MyMonitor" to category "Custom"
[/codeblock]
The debugger calls the callable to get the value of custom monitor. The callable must return a number.
Callables are called with arguments supplied in argument array.
[b]Note:[/b] It throws an error if given id is already present.

<description>
Returns the value of one of the available monitors. You should provide one of the [enum Monitor] constants as the argument, like this:
[codeblock]
print(Performance.get_monitor(Performance.TIME_FPS)) # Prints the FPS to the console
[/codeblock]
