Since the same argument is used, `SceneState::get_node_deferred_nodepath_properties()`
should use similar logic to `SceneState::get_property_value()`.
Make `SceneState::get_property_value()` to return whether the property is deferred.
- Unify documentation, hoping to clear misconcepctions about about propagation of the cache mode across dependant loads.
- Clarify in docs that `CACHE_MODE_REPLACE` now also works on the main resource (from #87008).
- Add two recursive modes, counterparts of `CACHE_MODE_REPLACE` and `CACHE_MODE_IGNORE`, since it seems some need them (see #59669, #82830).
- Let resources, even loaded with one of the ignore-cache modes, get a path, which is useful for tools.
The sub-scene root node will be set successively in the sub-scene and the main scene.
The PR is simply to determine intent from the record. Mainly the cases when
`resource_local_to_scene` is enabled in main scene.
When updating resources according to the records of the main scene, use the
`scene_unique_id` in the main scene to prevent the ID of the resource from
changing continuously when saving the scene.
As many open source projects have started doing it, we're removing the
current year from the copyright notice, so that we don't need to bump
it every year.
It seems like only the first year of publication is technically
relevant for copyright notices, and even that seems to be something
that many companies stopped listing altogether (in a version controlled
codebase, the commits are a much better source of date of publication
than a hardcoded copyright statement).
We also now list Godot Engine contributors first as we're collectively
the current maintainers of the project, and we clarify that the
"exclusive" copyright of the co-founders covers the timespan before
opensourcing (their further contributions are included as part of Godot
Engine contributors).
Also fixed "cf." Frenchism - it's meant as "refer to / see".
Adds a CONNECT_INHERITED flag to connections, only available in editor builds. This flag denotes that the signal has been inherited from a previous Scene in the instancing hierarchy.
Make `resource_local_to_scene` behave as described in the documentation. (If I understand correctly, the following **instance** refers to **the instance of the sub-scene**.)

If the resources of the sub-scene are modified in the main scene, the modified resources will be recorded in the `tscn` file of the main scene. And the root node of the sub-scene will be set twice.
1. In the main scene, when encountering a sub-scene, the sub-scene will be initialized first;
2. Then use the resources in the main scene to reset the root node of the sub-scene.
This may make `resource_local_to_scene` not work as expected. The resources cannot be shared between the sub-scene root node and other ordinary nodes in the sub-scene.
Yes, if the resources have `resource_local_to_scene` enabled, this patch treats the modified resources of the sub-scene root node as resources in the sub-scene, not in the main scene. Although the modifications are recorded in the `tscn` file of the main scene.
This PR implements:
* A new hint: PROPERTY_HINT_NODE_TYPE for variant type OBJECT, which can take specific node types as hint string.
* The editor will show it as a node path, but will set it as a pointer to a node from the current scene if you select a path.
* When scene is saved, the node path is saved, then restored as a pointer.
NOTE: This is a proof of concept and this approach will most likely not work. The reason if that, if the node referenced is deleted, then when trying to edit this the node will become invalid.
Potential workarounds: Since this uses the Variant API, it should obtain the pointer from the Variant object ID. Yet, this would either only really work in GDScript or it would need to be implemented with workarounds in every language.
Alternative ways to make this work: Nodes could export an additional property with a node path (like for which_node, it could be which_node_path).
Another alternative: Path editing could happen as a hidden metadata (ignoring the pointer).
