[EditorExportPlugin]s are automatically invoked whenever the user exports the project. Their most common use is to determine what files are being included in the exported project. For each plugin, [method _export_begin] is called at the beginning of the export process and then [method _export_file] is called for each exported file.
To use [EditorExportPlugin], register it using the [method EditorPlugin.add_export_plugin] method first.

Add support for scene/resource customization in export plugins
EditorExportPlugin adds a set of callbacks to allow customizing scenes, resources or subresources in all files exported:
* Can take scene files, resource files and subresources in all of them.
* Uses a cache for the converted files if nothing changes, so this work only happens if a file is modified.
* Uses hashing to differentiate export configuration caches.
* Removed the previous conversion code to binary, as this one uses existing stuff.
This API is useful in several scenarios:
* Needed by the "server" export platform to get rid of textures, meshes, audio, etc.
* Needed by text to binary converters.
* Needed by eventual optimizations such as shader precompiling on export, mesh merging and optimization, etc.
This is a draft, feedback is very welcome.

Return [code]true[/code] if this plugin will customize resources based on the platform and features used.
When enabled, [method _get_customization_configuration_hash], [method _customize_resource] and [method _customize_scene] will be called and must be implemented.

Customize a resource. If changes are made to it, return the same or a new resource. Otherwise, return [code]null[/code].
