Andrii Doroshenko (Xrayez) 6a67350910 Remove get_closest_* methods from ShapeCast2D
The physics API cannot provide needed functionality to ensure the correct behavior, which might lead to confusion (see `rest_info()`).

However `get_closest_collision_safe/unsafe_fraction()` methods are not removed, because they return correct result from `cast_motion()`.

<brief_description>
Node for physics collision sweep and immediate overlap queries. Similar to the [RayCast2D] node.
</brief_description>
<description>
Shape casting allows to detect collision objects by sweeping the [member shape] along the cast direction determined by [member target_position] (useful for things like beam weapons).
Immediate collision overlaps can be done with the [member target_position] set to [code]Vector2(0, 0)[/code] and by calling [method force_shapecast_update] within the same [b]physics_frame[/b]. This also helps to overcome some limitations of [Area2D] when used as a continuous detection area, often requiring waiting a couple of frames before collision information is available to [Area2D] nodes, and when using the signals creates unnecessary complexity.
The node can detect multiple collision objects, but usually the first detected collision
[b]Note:[/b] shape casting is more computationally expensive compared to ray casting.

<methods>
<method name="add_exception">
<return type="void" />
<argument index="0" name="node" type="Object" />
<description>
Adds a collision exception so the shape does not report collisions with the specified node.
</description>
</method>
<method name="add_exception_rid">
<return type="void" />
<argument index="0" name="rid" type="RID" />
<description>
Adds a collision exception so the shape does not report collisions with the specified [RID].
</description>
</method>
<method name="clear_exceptions">
<return type="void" />
<description>
Removes all collision exceptions for this shape.
</description>
</method>
<method name="force_shapecast_update">
<return type="void" />
<description>
Updates the collision information for the shape. Use this method to update the collision information immediately instead of waiting for the next [code]_physics_process[/code] call, for example if the shape or its parent has changed state.
[b]Note:[/b] [code]enabled == true[/code] is not required for this to work.

</method>
<method name="get_closest_collision_safe_fraction" qualifiers="const">
<return type="float" />
<description>
The fraction of the motion (between 0 and 1) of how far the shape can move without triggering a collision. The motion is determined by [member target_position].
</description>
</method>
<method name="get_closest_collision_unsafe_fraction" qualifiers="const">
<return type="float" />
<description>
The fraction of the motion (between 0 and 1) when the shape triggers a collision. The motion is determined by [member target_position].
</description>
</method>
<method name="get_collider" qualifiers="const">
<return type="Object" />
<argument index="0" name="index" type="int" />
<description>
Returns the [Object] of one of the multiple collisions at [code]index[/code], or [code]null[/code] if no object is intersecting the shape (i.e. [method is_colliding] returns [code]false[/code]).
</description>
</method>
<method name="get_collider_shape" qualifiers="const">
<return type="int" />
<argument index="0" name="index" type="int" />
<description>
Returns the shape ID of one of the multiple collisions at [code]index[/code] that the shape intersects, or [code]0[/code] if no object is intersecting the shape (i.e. [method is_colliding] returns [code]false[/code]).
</description>
</method>
<method name="get_collision_count" qualifiers="const">
<return type="int" />
<description>
The number of collisions detected at the point of impact. Use this to iterate over multiple collisions as provided by [method get_collider], [method get_collider_shape], [method get_collision_point], and [method get_collision_normal] methods.
</description>
</method>
<method name="get_collision_mask_value" qualifiers="const">
<return type="bool" />
<argument index="0" name="layer_number" type="int" />
<description>
Returns whether or not the specified layer of the [member collision_mask] is enabled, given a [code]layer_number[/code] between 1 and 32.
</description>
</method>
<method name="get_collision_normal" qualifiers="const">
<return type="Vector2" />
