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>
Plugin for adding custom converters from one resource format to another in the editor resource picker context menu; for example, converting a [StandardMaterial3D] to a [ShaderMaterial].
</brief_description>
<description>
[EditorResourceConversionPlugin] is invoked when the context menu is brought up for a resource in the editor inspector. Relevant conversion plugins will appear as menu options to convert the given resource to a target type.
Below shows an example of a basic plugin that will convert an [ImageTexture] to a [PortableCompressedTexture2D].
[codeblocks]
[gdscript]
extends EditorResourceConversionPlugin
func _handles(resource: Resource):
return resource is ImageTexture
func _converts_to():
return "PortableCompressedTexture2D"
func _convert(itex: Resource):
var ptex = PortableCompressedTexture2D.new()
ptex.create_from_image(itex.get_image(), PortableCompressedTexture2D.COMPRESSION_MODE_LOSSLESS)
return ptex
[/gdscript]
[/codeblocks]
To use an [EditorResourceConversionPlugin], register it using the [method EditorPlugin.add_resource_conversion_plugin] method first.
