* Removed the pointers to PhysicalBone in the code, as they were unused.
* Forward ported the SkeletonIK bone scaling fix I made from Godot 3.2 to Godot 4.0.
* Fixed issue where the root bone in the IK chain would not rotate correctly.
* The issue turned out to be the update_chain function being called in solve. This would override the root bone transform incorrectly and that would cause it not to rotate after just a single solve. Removing the update_chain function fixes the issue and based on my testing there are no adverse effects.
* While the old fix on this PR (prior to a force push) required a hack fix, this new fix does not!
* Removed the update_chain function. This change doesn't appear to have any adverse effects in any of the projects I tested (including with animations, Skeleton3D or otherwise, from AnimationPlayer nodes!)
* Fixed issue where the scale of the Skeleton node would change the position of the target, causing it not to work with skeletons that have a global scale of anything but 1.

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.
