This makes it clearer that `tests=yes` should be used at compile-time.
Previously, the engine would run as if the argument wasn't passed,
which can be confusing.
* Servers now use WorkerThreadPool for background computation.
* This helps keep the number of threads used fixed at all times.
* It also ensures everything works on HTML5 with threads.
* And makes it easier to support disabling threads for also HTML5.
CommandQueueMT now syncs with the servers via the WorkerThreadPool
yielding mechanism, which makes its classic main sync semaphore
superfluous.
Also, some warnings about calls that kill performance when using
threaded rendering are removed because there's a mechanism that
warns about that in a more general fashion.

Adds fixed timestep interpolation to the rendering server (2D only).
Switchable on and off with a project setting (default is off).

- `Main::setup` early exits (failure or `--help`/`--version`) now
consistently return `EXIT_FAILURE` or `EXIT_SUCCESS` on all platforms,
instead of 255 on some and a Godot Error code on others.
- `Main::start` now returns the exit code, simplifying the handling of early
failures.
- `Main::iteration` needs to explicit set the exit code in OS if it errors
out.
- Web and iOS now properly return `OS::get_exit_code()` instead of 0.

Also, distinguish between main pack and DLC packs.
It's desirable to downloaded content to be as small as possible. This change avoids bloating non-main pack files with new versions of resources that are all read on startup and never used again. They have no effect if loaded after startup.
- project.godot/project.binary file
- extension_list.cfg
- app icon and boot_splash
- .ico and .icns files (these can still be opted in for DLC by listing them explicitly in the include filter)
This can be used to quickly see how recent a development build is,
without having to look up the commit date manually.
When juggling around with various builds (e.g. for benchmarking),
this can also be used to ensure that you're actually running the
binary you intended to run.
The date stored is the date of the Git commit that is built, not
the current date at the time of building the binary. This ensures
binaries can remain reproducible.
The version timestamp can be accessed using the `timestamp` key
of the `Engine.get_version_info()` return value.
* Do not print empty line when header is disabled
* Do not print Vulcan header
* Also add "Print header" project setting (default On)
(suggested by @kaissouDev)
* Add docs for the project setting
(with suggestions by @Mickeon and @akien-mga)

ReShade can still be used on projects run from the editor as well
as exported projects.
This avoids several issues:
- ReShade doesn't play well with low-processor mode, making it hard
to use unless the Update Continuously editor setting is enabled.
- The ReShade overlay appears on every popup opened, which made popups
unusable.
- If you use a ReShade configuration that heavily affects the image,
it won't affect the editor UI which may become unreadable as a result.
This doesn't affect the editor being run via OpenGL or Direct3D 12
as ReShade is injected in a different manner when using those graphics
APIs.
Not everything is yet implemented, either for Godot or personal
limitations (I don't have all hardware in the world). A brief list of
the most important issues follows:
- Single-window only: the `DisplayServer` API doesn't expose enough
information for properly creating XDG shell windows.
- Very dumb rendering loop: this is very complicated, just know that
the low consumption mode is forced to 2000 Hz and some clever hacks are
in place to overcome a specific Wayland limitation. This will be
improved to the extent possible both downstream and upstream.
- Features to implement yet: IME, touch input, native file dialog,
drawing tablet (commented out due to a refactor), screen recording.
- Mouse passthrough can't be implement through a poly API, we need a
rect-based one.
- The cursor doesn't yet support fractional scaling.
- Auto scale is rounded up when using fractional scaling as we don't
have a per-window scale query API (basically we need
`DisplayServer::window_get_scale`).
- Building with `x11=no wayland=yes opengl=yes openxr=yes` fails.
This also adds a new project property and editor setting for selecting the
default DisplayServer to start, to allow this backend to start first in
exported projects (X11 is still the default for now). The editor setting
always overrides the project setting.

This works even if file logging is disabled in the project settings,
or for the editor/project manager.
`--log-file`'s value can be an absolute path or relative to the project
directory (similar to existing arguments like `--write-movie`).
This commits rewrites the sync logic in a way that the
`use_system_threads_for_low_priority_tasks` setting, which was added due to
the lack of a cross-platform wait-for-multiple-objects functionality, can be
removed (it's as if it was effectively hardcoded to `false`).
With the new implementation, we have the best of both worlds: threads don't
have to poll, plus no bespoke threads are used.
In addition, regarding deadlock prevention, since not every possible case of
wait-deadlock could be avoided, this commits removes the current best-effort
avoidance mechanisms and keeps only a simple, pessimistic way of detection.
It turns out that the only current user of deadlock prevention, ResourceLoader,
works fine with it and so every possible situation in resource loading is now
properly handled, with no possibilities of deadlocking. There's a comment in
the code with further details.
Lastly, a potential for load tasks never being awaited/disposed is cleared.
This is helpful for newcomers setting up Godot on CI, as this provides
automatic guidance as for why it doesn't run out of the box if
there's no X11 server available.
Credit and thanks to @bruzvg for multiple build fixes, update of 3rd-party items and MinGW support.
