Instead of hardcoding platform names that support C#, let platforms
set a flag indicating if they support it. All public platforms
except web already support it, and it's a pain to maintain a patch
for this list just to add additional names of proprietary console
platforms.
This makes adding new platforms or variants or existing platforms
much easier, as the platform can signal what it supports/doesn't
support directly, and we can avoid harcoding platform names.
This prevents a wayland-scanner message from appearing every build
when `wayland=yes` is used (the default). The error message when
wayland-scanner is still printed as it's not printed by
wayland-scanner itself.
This allows previous X11-only setups to still build Godot with default
settings. Note that compilation will still abort if wayland-scanner is
present but not the various Wayland libraries.
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 breaks the build with our updated i686 Linux SDK which doesn't contain
this path, and may not be needed at all.
This might need further work to be robust, and there's an open PR already
adding -march flags for all supported architectures, but for now we're
playing it safe for 4.2.
This fixes multiple issues/inconsistencies around `get_compiler_version()`:
* With no shell allocated, launching the compiler could fail even
with proper paths being set.
* The return value was described as "an array of version numbers as ints",
but the function actually returned a `Dictionary` (or `None`).
* Not all calls were properly handling a `None` return value in case of errors.
On Windows this broke compiling for me since #81869 with default settings.
* Some calls defined inconsistent defaults/fallbacks (`0` or `-1`).
Follow-up to #75932.
Since these icons are only used by the export plugin, it makes sense to
move them and generate the headers there.
The whole `detect.is_active()` logic seems to be a leftover from before
times, as far back as 1.0-stable it already wasn't used for anything.
So I'm removing it and moving the export icon generation to
`platform_methods`, where it makes more sense.
No need to define _REENTRANT manually when using the system lib,
it's part of the pkgconfig cflags.
And we were then defining PULSEAUDIO_ENABLED twice.
- Unify keycode values (secondary label printed on a key), remove unused hardcoded Latin-1 codes.
- Unify IME behaviour, add inline composition string display on Windows and X11.
- Add key_label (localized label printed on a key) value to the key events, and allow mapping actions to the unshifted Unicode events.
- Add support for physical keyboard (Bluetooth or Sidecar) handling on iOS.
- Add support for media key handling on macOS.

The loaders have been generated through hpvb's dynload-wrapper, although
they had to be heavily handpatched to workaround some already reported
issues with it. I added a note to each generated file to account for
that.
As GLAD uses X11 stuff directly, I had to define the GLAD_GLX_NO_X11
macro to not let do it that, and handle myself the display loading and
screen handling part myself, which wasn't that hard but it's still
something worth saying.
I plan to improve greatly the X11 backend (including this aspect) but,
as the release isn't that far and I'm also working on the Wayland
backend, this will do for now, I hope.
This is accomplished through the addition of a GLAD GLX loader in the
`thirdparty` directory.
This is another step towards a nice Wayland/X11 interoperation.

New `target` presets
====================
The `tools` option is removed and `target` changes to use three new presets,
which match the builds users are familiar with. These targets control the
default optimization level and enable editor-specific and debugging code:
- `editor`: Replaces `tools=yes target=release_debug`.
* Defines: `TOOLS_ENABLED`, `DEBUG_ENABLED`, `-O2`/`/O2`
- `template_debug`: Replaces `tools=no target=release_debug`.
* Defines: `DEBUG_ENABLED`, `-O2`/`/O2`
- `template_release`: Replaces `tools=no target=release`.
* Defines: `-O3`/`/O2`
New `dev_build` option
======================
The previous `target=debug` is now replaced by a separate `dev_build=yes`
option, which can be used in combination with either of the three targets,
and changes the following:
- `dev_build`: Defines `DEV_ENABLED`, disables optimization (`-O0`/`/0d`),
enables generating debug symbols, does not define `NDEBUG` so `assert()`
works in thirdparty libraries, adds a `.dev` suffix to the binary name.
Note: Unlike previously, `dev_build` defaults to off so that users who
compile Godot from source get an optimized and small build by default.
Engine contributors should now set `dev_build=yes` in their build scripts or
IDE configuration manually.
Changed binary names
====================
The name of generated binaries and object files are changed too, to follow
this format:
`godot.<platform>.<target>[.dev][.double].<arch>[.<extra_suffix>][.<ext>]`
For example:
- `godot.linuxbsd.editor.dev.arm64`
- `godot.windows.template_release.double.x86_64.mono.exe`
Be sure to update your links/scripts/IDE config accordingly.
More flexible `optimize` and `debug_symbols` options
====================================================
The optimization level and whether to generate debug symbols can be further
specified with the `optimize` and `debug_symbols` options. So the default
values listed above for the various `target` and `dev_build` combinations
are indicative and can be replaced when compiling, e.g.:
`scons p=linuxbsd target=template_debug dev_build=yes optimize=debug`
will make a "debug" export template with dev-only code enabled, `-Og`
optimization level for GCC/Clang, and debug symbols. Perfect for debugging
complex crashes at runtime in an exported project.
Adds support for LTO on macOS and Android. We don't have much experience
with LTO on these platforms so for now we keep it disabled by default
even when `production=yes` is set.
Similarly for iOS where we ship object files for the user to link in
Xcode so LTO makes builds extremely slow to link.
`production=yes` defaults to full LTO.
ThinLTO is much faster for LLVM-based compilers but seems to produce
bigger binaries (at least for the Web platform).
The new option is `linker` and lets the user specify the argument to
the`-fuse_ld=` linker flag directly. The supported options are:
- `default`: No change, typically uses GNU ld (bfd) unless the user or
distro picked a different default `/usr/bin/ld`.
- `bfd`: GNU ld from binutils
- `gold`: GNU gold from binutils
- `lld`: lld from LLVM
- `mold`: mold, an extremely fast modern linker, not (yet) intended for
use in production but great for development speed. Provided by distro
`mold` package or needs to be compiled from source and installed to
`/usr` otherwise.
Removes the `use_lld=yes` option, and make lld actually usable with GCC
too.
Not all the above are compatible or recommend for LTO, we recommend
using GNU ld with GCC LTO, or lld with LLVM ThinLTO.
