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).

One-shot timer.
</brief_description>
<description>
A one-shot timer managed by the scene tree, which emits [signal timeout] on completion. See also [method SceneTree.create_timer].
As opposed to [Timer], it does not require the instantiation of a node. Commonly used to create a one-shot delay timer as in the following example:
[codeblocks]
[gdscript]
func some_function():
print("Timer started.")
await get_tree().create_timer(1.0).timeout
print("Timer ended.")
[/gdscript]
[csharp]
public async Task SomeFunction()
{
GD.Print("Timer started.");
await ToSignal(GetTree().CreateTimer(1.0f), SceneTreeTimer.SignalName.Timeout);
GD.Print("Timer ended.");
}
[/csharp]
[/codeblocks]
The timer will be dereferenced after its time elapses. To preserve the timer, you can keep a reference to it. See [RefCounted].
[b]Note:[/b] The timer is processed after all of the nodes in the current frame, i.e. node's [method Node._process] method would be called before the timer (or [method Node._physics_process] if [code]process_in_physics[/code] in [method SceneTree.create_timer] has been set to [code]true[/code]).
