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).
- Update the NodePath shorthand prefix for `master`.
- Document the StringName construction shorthand (`&"example"`).
- Cross-link between NodePath and StringName, as these are related
concepts.
This makes it easier to spot syntax errors when editing the
class reference. The schema is referenced locally so validation
can still work offline.
Each class XML's schema conformance is also checked on GitHub Actions.
For the time being we don't support writing a description for those, preferring
having all details in the method's description.
Using self-closing tags saves half the lines, and prevents contributors from
thinking that they should write the argument or return documentation there.
Fix more cases of node path needing an update when nodes are renamed or
moved in the editor.
Built-in node properties:
Before, node paths were checked only for script export variables. Now
all properties are checked from the node, which includes built-in node
properties.
Allows proper node path updates for nodes like remote transform, physics
joints, etc.
Arrays and dictionaries:
Node paths nested in array and dictionary properties are now also
updated in the editor.
Also update the documentation to be clear about node path update in the
editor and at runtime.

We already removed it from the online docs with #35132.
Currently it can only be "Built-In Types" (Variant types) or "Core"
(everything else), which is of limited use.
We might also want to consider dropping it from `ClassDB` altogether
in Godot 4.0.
- Document a few more properties and methods
- Add more information to many classes
- Fix lots of typos and gramar mistakes
- Use [code] tags for parameters consistently
- Use [b] and [i] tags consistently
- Put "Warning:" and "Note:" on their own line to be more visible,
and make them always bold
- Tweak formatting in code examples to be more readable
- Use double quotes consistently
- Add more links to third-party technologies
All 100% completed: MainLoop, Node, Object, Path, Performance,
Reference, Resource, SceneState, SceneTree, UndoRedo.
Also fixed some en_GB occurrences as the reference spelling is en_US.
In many of the XML files it had been noted that when the documentation
refers to a return value, both "Return" and "Returns" are used. This
has now been fixed to only say "Returns".
