Credit and thanks to @bruzvg for multiple build fixes, update of 3rd-party items and MinGW support.

Also fixes the timing issue when exporting all
presets at the same time, where the error report
would try to appear while the progress dialog
was still visible.
This support is experimental and requires .NET 8
Known issues:
- Requires macOS due to use of lipo and xcodebuild
- arm64 simulator templates are not currently included
in the official packaging
Upon investigating the extremely slow MSVC build times in #80513, I noticed
that while Godot policy is to never use exceptions, we weren't enforcing it
with compiler flags, and thus still included exception handling code and
stack unwinding.
This is wasteful on multiple aspects:
- Binary size: Around 20% binary size reduction with exceptions disabled
for both MSVC and GCC binaries.
- Compile time:
* More than 50% build time reduction with MSVC.
* 10% to 25% build time reduction with GCC + LTO.
- Performance: Possibly, needs to be benchmarked.
Since users may want to re-enable exceptions in their own thirdparty code
or the libraries they compile with Godot, this behavior can be toggled with
the `disable_exceptions` SCons option, which defaults to true.
This makes it easy to retrieve the project version at runtime
for display purposes, while simplifying the export preset configuration.
You can now leave the version empty unless you need to override it on a per-preset
basis.
Since export presets save the values of default values to the `export_presets.cfg`
file, this change only affects export presets created after this commit was merged.
We don't use that info for anything, and it generates unnecessary diffs
every time we bump the minor version (and CI failures if we forget to
sync some files from opt-in modules (mono, text_server_fb).
When trying to export a C# project, this displays an error message after
creating a export preset for an unsupported platform.
Support for these platforms is planned for a future release.
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.
