* Previous "virtual" classes (which can't be instantiated) are not corretly named "abstract".
* Added a new "virtual" category for classes, they can't be instantiated from the editor, but can be inherited from script and extensions.
* Converted a large amount of classes from "abstract" to "virtual" where it makes sense.
Most classes that make sense have been converted. Missing:
* Physics servers
* VideoStream
* Script* classes.
which will go in a separate PR due to the complexity involved.
* Extensions are now scanned and loaded on demand.
* Extensions found are cached into a file that is used to load them (which is also exported).
* Editor will ask to restart when an extension requires core functionality.
* Editor will attempt to load extensions always before importing or loading scenes. This ensures extensions can register the relevant types.
- Fix library loading and initialization.
- Add extra methods/parameters in the interface needed by extenstions.
- Add Variant destructors and functions for extracting values and
creating Variants from values.
* Deprecates GDNative in favor of a simpler, lower level interface.
* New extension system allows registering core engine classes.
* Simple header interface in gdnative_interace.h
