This PR implements range iterators in the base containers (Vector, Map, List, Pair Set).
Given several of these data structures will be replaced by more efficient versions, having a common iterator API will make this simpler.
Iterating can be done as follows (examples):
```C++
//Vector<String>
for(const String& I: vector) {
}
//List<String>
for(const String& I: list) {
}
//Map<String,int>
for(const KeyValue<String,int>&I : map) {
print_line("key: "+I.key+" value: "+itos(I.value));
}
//if intending to write the elements, reference can be used
//Map<String,int>
for(KeyValue<String,int>& I: map) {
I.value = 25;
//this will fail because key is always const
//I.key = "hello"
}
```
The containers are (for now) not STL compatible, since this would mean changing how they work internally (STL uses a special head/tail allocation for end(), while Godot Map/Set/List do not).
The idea is to change the Godot versions to be more compatible with STL, but this will happen after conversion to new iterators have taken place.
- Based on C++11's `atomic`
- Reworked `SafeRefCount` (based on the rewrite by @hpvb)
- Replaced free atomic functions by the new `SafeNumeric<T>`
- Replaced wrong cases of `volatile bool` by the new `SafeFlag`
- Platform-specific implementations no longer needed

Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
2020 has been a tough year for most of us personally, but a good year for
Godot development nonetheless with a huge amount of work done towards Godot
4.0 and great improvements backported to the long-lived 3.2 branch.
We've had close to 400 contributors to engine code this year, authoring near
7,000 commit! (And that's only for the `master` branch and for the engine code,
there's a lot more when counting docs, demos and other first-party repos.)
Here's to a great year 2021 for all Godot users 🎆
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.
This allows more consistency in the manner we include core headers,
where previously there would be a mix of absolute, relative and
include path-dependent includes.
