* Explain where it should be used, with examples.
* Clarify that it should _not_ be used everywhere, only where needed.
* Supersedes #57720
This PR is the result of the discussion that happened in a contractor meeting, and it attempts to clarify the intended use for this macro for other contributors.
As a personal note, It is my view that other approaches to using SNAME (like having a global or per class table of string names) are mere overengineering without any real benefit (performance remains the same, and usage of stringnames becomes more cumbersome. Additionally, there was not any significant amount of errors in name mismatching as a result of using strings since Godot was open sourced).
Improvements:
* Occluder3D is now an abstract type inherited by: ArrayOccluder3D, QuadOccluder3D, BoxOccluder3D, SphereOccluder3D and PolygonOccluder3D. ArrayOccluder3D serves the same purpose as the old Occluder3D (triangle mesh occluder) while the rest are primitives that can be used to manually place simple occluders.
* Occluder baking can now apply simplification. The "bake_simplification_distance" property can be used to set a world-space distance as the desired maximum error, set to 0.1 by default.
* Occluders can now be generated on import. Using the "occ" and "occonly" keywords (similar to "col" and "colonly" for colliders) or by enabling on MeshInstance3Ds in the scene's import window.
Fixes:
* Fixed saving of occluder files after bake.
* Fixed a small error where occluders didn't correctly update in the rendering server.
Bonus content:
* Generalized "CollisionPolygon3DEditor" so it can also be used to edit Resources. Renamed it to "Polygon3DEditor" since it was already being used by other things, not just colliders.
* Fixed a small bug in "EditorPropertyArray" where a call to "remove" was left after the "remove_at" rename.
Modify the create_sub_window method to set an icon for all sub windows, setting the icon to the same icon as the main window.

This was changed in #56943 to allow adding new importers from plugins that
take precedence over built-in ones, but this should be opt-in, not the default
behavior.
Fixes#57730.
