* This notification makes node children management very inefficient.
* Replaced by a NOTIFICATION_CHILDREN_CHANGED (and children_changed signal).
* Changed Canvas code (and similar) to use the above signal, to perform more efficiently.
This PR breaks compatibility (although this notification was very rarely used, even within the engine), but provides an alternate way to do the same.
It is required for the changes in #75627 to be entirely effective.
- Removed empty paragraphs in XML.
- Consistently use bold style for "Example:", on a new line.
- Fix usage of `[code]` when hyperlinks could be used (`[member]`, `[constant]`).
- Fix invalid usage of backticks for inline code in BBCode.
- Fix some American/British English spelling inconsistencies.
- Other minor fixes spotted along the way, including typo fixes with codespell.
- Don't specify `@GlobalScope` for `enum` and `constant`.
With the introduction of Scene Unique Nodes, `is_unique_in_owner`, "Unique Name in Scene" and other descriptions related to the feature, the second parameter of add_child() and add_simbling() could be misunderstood to be related, at first glance.
Node methods in C# extended to use generics
now have the optional parameter `includeInternal`
like their non-generic equivalents.
Also, fixed a typo in the `Node.get_child` documentation.
- RPC configurations are now dictionaries.
- Script.get_rpc_methods renamed to Script.get_rpc_config.
- Node.rpc[_id] and Callable.rpc now return an Error.
- Refactor MultiplayerAPI to allow extension.
- New MultiplayerAPI.rpc method with Array argument (for scripts).
- Move the default MultiplayerAPI implementation to a module.
The name was confusing as this signal is emitted around the same time as
`tree_exiting` and `NOTIFICATION_EXIT_TREE`, i.e. while the child node is
still in tree.
Fixes#59210.
Removes custom_multiplayer from Node.
MultiplayerAPI overrides are now set at SceneTree level, and apply to
whole branches.
Impact on performance when using only the default multiplayer or
overriding it is minimal, the use of branches can likely be further
optimized by caching nodes and relevant MultiplayerAPI IDs.
The new name contrasts it better with `find_parent`, and makes it clear
that it only matches child/descendant nodes.
Also rename `find_nodes` to `find_children` accordingly.

* Nodes can be marked unique to the scene in the editor (or via code).
* Unique nodes can be accessed via the **%** prefix at any point in the path. From that point in the path (depending on whether the scene of the path is), the unique node will be fetched.
* Implementation is very optimal, as these nodes are cached.
