This is needed because of the new changes to Variant. The reference
counter is increased by adding it to a Variant, which means no GDScript
will be freed (or will be double freed if manually freed somewhere).
- Now is sent the method ID rather the full function name.
- The passed IDs (Node and Method) are compressed so to use less possible space.
- The variant (INT and BOOL) is now encoded and compressed so to use much less data.
- Optimized RPCMode retrieval for GDScript functions.
- Added checksum to assert the methods are the same across peers.

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.
VarArg methods have the return type Object in the API json for GDNative. This
can cause undefined behavior in some language bindings due to lack of
documentation on VarArg methods' behavior.
This changes the MethodInfo of:
- CSharpScript::_new
- GDScript::_new
- PluginScript::_new
solves #26796
- ADD `String to_string()` method to Object which can be overriden by `String _to_string()` in scripts
- ADD `String to_string(r_valid)` method to ScriptInstance to allow langauges to control how scripted objects are converted to strings
- IMPLEMENT to_string for GDScriptInstance, VisualScriptInstance, and NativeScriptInstance
- ADD Documentation about `Object.to_string` and `Object._to_string`
- Changed `Variant::operator String` to use `obj->to_string()`
- This mode avoids loading any other resource.
- Search for class_name now uses this mode, to avoid loading in the scan
thread.
- Implement get_dependencies() for GDScript loader, now exporting
dependencies only should include the preloaded resources.
During reloading in `GDScriptLanguage::reload_all_scripts` a placeholder instance that must remain so is replaced with a new placeholder instance. The state is then restored by calling `ScriptInstance::set` for each property. This does not work if the script is missing the properties due to build/parse failing.
The fix for such cases is to call `placeholder_set_fallback` instead of `set` on the script instance.
I took this chance to move the `build_failed` flag from `PlaceHolderScriptInstance` to `Script`. That improves the code a lot. I also renamed it to `placeholder_fallback_enabled` which is a much better name (`build_failed` could lead to misunderstandings).
Fixes GCC 5 warnings of the form:
core/io/http_client.cpp:288:9: warning: enumeration value 'STATUS_SSL_HANDSHAKE_ERROR' not handled in switch [-Wswitch]
core/io/marshalls.cpp:806:9: warning: enumeration value 'AABB' not handled in switch [-Wswitch]
Those can be trivial cases where adding a default fallback is the solution,
or more complex issues/hidden bugs where missed values are actually meant
to be handled.
