Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
We're starting a new decade with a well-established, non-profit, free
and open source game engine, and tons of further improvements in the
pipeline from hundreds of contributors.
Godot will keep getting better, and we're looking forward to all the
games that the community will keep developing and releasing with it.
Adds a new NavigationMesh property to select which objects will be taken
into account for the generation.
By default it will use all the NavigationMeshInstance children to keep
compatibility. The new modes allow to build the NavigationMesh from
all the nodes belonging to a specific group, and optionally include
their children too.
* Expose EditorNavigationMeshGenerator as an engine singleton so users
can generate navmesehes from `tool` scripts.
* Add support for generating navmeshes from static colliders. All
collision shapes are supported except for Plane (since Plane is an
infinite collider and navmeshes need to have finite geometry).
* When using static colliders as a geometry source, a layer mask can be
specified to ignore certain colliders.
* Don't rely on global transform. It still should give the exact same
results but allows for building navmeshes on nodes that are not in the
tree (useful in `tool` scripts).
* Update navigation gizmos after every new bake.

This commit makes operator[] on Vector const and adds a write proxy to it. From
now on writes to Vectors need to happen through the .write proxy. So for
instance:
Vector<int> vec;
vec.push_back(10);
std::cout << vec[0] << std::endl;
vec.write[0] = 20;
Failing to use the .write proxy will cause a compilation error.
In addition COWable datatypes can now embed a CowData pointer to their data.
This means that String, CharString, and VMap no longer use or derive from
Vector.
_ALWAYS_INLINE_ and _FORCE_INLINE_ are now equivalent for debug and non-debug
builds. This is a lot faster for Vector in the editor and while running tests.
The reason why this difference used to exist is because force-inlined methods
used to give a bad debugging experience. After extensive testing with modern
compilers this is no longer the case.
Modules can register their own editor plugins (like GridMap does),
so no need to put module-specific classes in the `editor/` folder.
Also cleans up the previous SCons env pollution from the Recast
module, integrating its code into libmodules as other modules.
