TwistedTwigleg 8aa3c2f091 New and improved IK system for Skeleton2D
This PR and commit adds a new IK system for 2D with the Skeleton2D node
that adds several new IK solvers, a way to control bones in a Skeleton2D
node similar to that in Skeleton3D. It also adds additional changes
and functionality.

This work was sponsored by GSoC 2020 and TwistedTwigleg.

Full list of changes:
* Adds a SkeletonModifier2D resource
  * This resource is the base where all IK code is written and executed
  * Has a function for clamping angles, since it is so commonly used
  * Modifiers are unique when duplicated so it works with instancing
* Adds a SkeletonModifierStack2D resource
  * This resource manages a series of SkeletonModification2Ds
  * This is what the Skeleton2D directly interfaces with to make IK possible
* Adds SkeletonModifier2D resources for LookAt, CCDIK, FABRIK, Jiggle, and TwoBoneIK
  * Each modification is in its own file
  * There is also a SkeletonModifier2D resource that acts as a stack for using multiple stacks together
* Adds a PhysicalBone2D node
  * Works similar to the PhysicalBone3D node, but uses a RigidBody2D node
* Changes to Skeleton2D listed below:
  * Skeleton2D now holds a single SkeletonModificationStack2D for IK
  * Skeleton2D now has a local_pose_override, which overrides the Bone2D position similar to how the overrides work in Skeleton3D
* Changes to Bone2D listed below:
  * The default_length property has been changed to length. Length is the length of the bone to its child bone node
  * New bone_angle property, which is the angle the bone has to its first child bone node
  * Bone2D caches its transform when not modified by IK for IK interpolation purposes
  * Bone2D draws its own editor gizmo, though this is stated to change in the future
* Changes to CanvasItemEditor listed below:
  * Bone2D gizmo drawing code removed
  * The 2D IK code is removed. Now Bone2D is the only bone system for 2D
* Transform2D now has a looking_at function for rotating to face a position
* Two new node notifications: NOTIFICATION_EDITOR_PRE_SAVE and NOTIFICATION_EDITOR_POST_SAVE
  * These notifications only are called in the editor right before and after saving a scene
  * Needed for not saving the IK position when executing IK in the editor
* Documentation for all the changes listed above.

<brief_description>
A 2D node that can be used for physically aware bones in 2D.
</brief_description>
<description>
The [code]PhysicalBone2D[/code] node is a [RigidBody2D]-based node that can be used to make [Bone2D] nodes in a [Skeleton2D] react to physics. This node is very similar to the [PhysicalBone3D] node, just for 2D instead of 3D.
[b]Note:[/b] To have the Bone2D nodes visually follow the [code]PhysicalBone2D[/code] node, use a [SkeletonModification2DPhysicalBones] modification on the [Skeleton2D] node with the [Bone2D] nodes.
[b]Note:[/b] The PhysicalBone2D node does not automatically create a [Joint2D] node to keep [code]PhysicalBone2D[/code] nodes together. You will need to create these manually. For most cases, you want to use a [PinJoint2D] node. The [code]PhysicalBone2D[/code] node can automatically configure the [Joint2D] node once it's been created as a child node.

<methods>
<method name="get_joint" qualifiers="const">
<return type="Joint2D">
</return>
<description>
Returns the first [Joint2D] child node, if one exists. This is mainly a helper function to make it easier to get the [Joint2D] that the [code]PhysicalBone2D[/code] is autoconfiguring.
</description>
</method>
<method name="is_simulating_physics" qualifiers="const">
<return type="bool">
</return>
<description>
Returns a boolean that indicates whether the [code]PhysicalBone2D[/code] node is running and simulating using the Godot 2D physics engine. When [code]true[/code], the PhysicalBone2D node is using physics.
