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).

Document the DisplayServer class
This also adds a link to the Command line tutorial on pages
that reference command line arguments, as the page covers some
general usage tips for CLI arguments (especially on macOS).

Add property hints to MovieWriter settings
- Rename audio mix rate setting as the suffix is now part of the
  property hint. This is also more consistent with existing mix rate
  project settings.
- Improve the MovieWriter class reference.
- Tweak warning message about audio possibly going out of sync.

reduz 5786516d4d Implement Running Godot as Movie Writer
* Allows running the game in "movie writer" mode.
* It ensures entirely stable framerate, so your run can be saved stable and with proper sound (which is impossible if your CPU/GPU can't sustain doing this in real-time).
* If disabling vsync, it can save movies faster than the game is run, but if you want to control the interaction it can get difficult.
* Implements a simple, default MJPEG writer.

This new features has two main use cases, which have high demand:
* Saving game videos in high quality and ensuring the frame rate is *completely* stable, always.
* Using Godot as a tool to make movies and animations (which is ideal if you want interaction, or creating them procedurally. No other software is as good for this).

**Note**: This feature **IS NOT** for capturing real-time footage. Use something like OBS, SimpleScreenRecorder or FRAPS to achieve that, as they do a much better job at intercepting the compositor than Godot can probably do using Vulkan or OpenGL natively. If your game runs near real-time when capturing, you can still use this feature but it will play no sound (sound will be saved directly).

Usage:

$ godot --write-movie movie.avi [scene_file.tscn]

Missing:

* Options for configuring video writing via GLOBAL_DEF
* UI Menu for launching with this mode from the editor.
* Add to list of command line options.
* Add a feature tag to override configurations when movie writing (fantastic for saving videos with highest quality settings).
