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.

<description>
Direct access object to a space in the [PhysicsServer]. It's used mainly to do queries against objects and areas residing in a given space.

<methods>
<method name="cast_motion">
<return type="Array" />
<argument index="0" name="shape" type="PhysicsShapeQueryParameters" />
<argument index="1" name="motion" type="Vector3" />
<description>
Checks how far a [Shape] can move without colliding. All the parameters for the query, including the shape, are supplied through a [PhysicsShapeQueryParameters] object.
Returns an array with the safe and unsafe proportions (between 0 and 1) of the motion. The safe proportion is the maximum fraction of the motion that can be made without a collision. The unsafe proportion is the minimum fraction of the distance that must be moved for a collision. If no collision is detected a result of [code][1.0, 1.0][/code] will be returned.
[b]Note:[/b] Any [Shape]s that the shape is already colliding with e.g. inside of, will be ignored. Use [method collide_shape] to determine the [Shape]s that the shape is already colliding with.

<method name="collide_shape">
<return type="Array" />
<argument index="0" name="shape" type="PhysicsShapeQueryParameters" />
<argument index="1" name="max_results" type="int" default="32" />
<description>
Checks the intersections of a shape, given through a [PhysicsShapeQueryParameters] object, against the space. The resulting array contains a list of points where the shape intersects another. Like with [method intersect_shape], the number of returned results can be limited to save processing time.

<method name="get_rest_info">
<return type="Dictionary" />
<argument index="0" name="shape" type="PhysicsShapeQueryParameters" />
<description>
Checks the intersections of a shape, given through a [PhysicsShapeQueryParameters] object, against the space. If it collides with more than one shape, the nearest one is selected. The returned object is a dictionary containing the following fields:
[code]collider_id[/code]: The colliding object's ID.
[code]linear_velocity[/code]: The colliding object's velocity [Vector3]. If the object is an [Area], the result is [code](0, 0, 0)[/code].
[code]normal[/code]: The object's surface normal at the intersection point.
[code]point[/code]: The intersection point.
[code]rid[/code]: The intersecting object's [RID].
[code]shape[/code]: The shape index of the colliding shape.
If the shape did not intersect anything, then an empty dictionary is returned instead.

<method name="intersect_point">
<return type="Array" />
<argument index="0" name="point" type="Vector3" />
<argument index="1" name="max_results" type="int" default="32" />
<argument index="2" name="exclude" type="Array" default="[ ]" />
<argument index="3" name="collision_layer" type="int" default="2147483647" />
<argument index="4" name="collide_with_bodies" type="bool" default="true" />
<argument index="5" name="collide_with_areas" type="bool" default="false" />
<description>
Checks whether a point is inside any solid shape. The shapes the point is inside of are returned in an array containing dictionaries with the following fields:
[code]collider[/code]: The colliding object.
[code]collider_id[/code]: The colliding object's ID.
[code]rid[/code]: The intersecting object's [RID].
[code]shape[/code]: The shape index of the colliding shape.
The number of intersections can be limited with the [code]max_results[/code] parameter, to reduce the processing time.
Additionally, the method can take an [code]exclude[/code] array of objects or [RID]s that are to be excluded from collisions, a [code]collision_mask[/code] bitmask representing the physics layers to check in, or booleans to determine if the ray should collide with [PhysicsBody]s or [Area]s, respectively.

<description>
Intersects a ray in a given space. The returned object is a dictionary with the following fields:
[code]collider[/code]: The colliding object.
[code]collider_id[/code]: The colliding object's ID.
[code]normal[/code]: The object's surface normal at the intersection point.
[code]position[/code]: The intersection point.
[code]rid[/code]: The intersecting object's [RID].
[code]shape[/code]: The shape index of the colliding shape.
If the ray did not intersect anything, then an empty dictionary is returned instead.
Additionally, the method can take an [code]exclude[/code] array of objects or [RID]s that are to be excluded from collisions, a [code]collision_mask[/code] bitmask representing the physics layers to check in, or booleans to determine if the ray should collide with [PhysicsBody]s or [Area]s, respectively.
