* Added a new macro SNAME() that constructs and caches a local stringname.
* Subsequent usages use the cached version.
* Since these use a global static variable, a second refcounter of static usages need to be kept for cleanup time.
* Replaced all theme usages by this new macro.
* Replace all signal emission usages by this new macro.
* Replace all call_deferred usages by this new macro.
This is part of ongoing work to optimize GUI and the editor.
Clean: remove duplicate and interior vertices (uses Bullet algorithm)
Simplify: modify the geometry for further simplification (uses VHACD
algorithm)
In the editor, single convex hull now uses the clean option.
Added a new editor entry to create a simplified convex hull, can be
useful for creating convex hull from highly tessellated triangle meshes.
Previously, only StandardMaterial3D could be defined as an alternative
to ShaderMaterial.
This also reorders the CanvasItemMaterial property hints to follow
alphabetical order (which is enforced by the inspector).
The Optimized shadow depth range was removed in late 2020 in favor
of the Stable shadow depth range, but it still had a (broken) property
that allowed to enable it.
More accurate unsafe motion calculation
* Safe and unsafe motion are calculated by dichotomy with a limited
number of steps. It's good for performance, but on long motions that
either collide near the beginning or near the end, the result can be
very imprecise.
* Now a factor 0.25 or 0.75 is used to converge faster when this case
happens, which allows longer motions to get more accurate collision
detection.
* Makes snap collision more precise, and helps with cases where diagonal collision on the border of a platform can lead to the character being stuck.
Additional improvements to move_and_slide:
* Handle slide canceling in move_and_collide with 0 velocity instead of
not applying it.
* Better handling of snap with custom logic to cancel sliding.
* Remove small jittering when using stop on slope, by canceling the
motion completely when the resulting motion is less than margin instead
of always projecting to the up direction (in both body motion and snap).

* Colors were imported as 16BPP (half float)
* Far most common use cases only require 8BPP
* If you need higher data precision, use a custom array, which are supported now.
**WARNING**: 3D Scenes imported in 4.0 no longer compatible with this new format. You need to re-import them (erase them from .godot/import)
* Removed entirely from RenderingServer.
* Replaced by ImmediateMesh resource.
* ImmediateMesh replaces ImmediateGeometry, but could use more optimization in the future.
* Sprite3D and AnimatedSprite3D work again, ported from Godot 3.x (though a lot of work was needed to adapt them to Godot 4).
* RootMotionView works again.
* Polygon3D editor works again.
New property disable_mode to set different behaviors:
Remove: remove from physics simulation
MakeStatic: change body mode to static (doesn't affect area and soft body)
KeepActive: do nothing
Extra change:
Handle disable/enable node state with specific notifications, in order
to differentiate global pause from disabled nodes.
* Functions to convert to/from degrees are all gone. Conversion is done by the editor.
* Use PROPERTY_HINT_ANGLE instead of PROPERTY_HINT_RANGE to edit radian angles in degrees.
* Added possibility to add suffixes to range properties, use "min,max[,step][,suffix:<something>]" example "0,100,1,suffix:m"
* In general, can add suffixes for EditorSpinSlider
Not covered by this PR, will have to be addressed by future ones:
* Ability to switch radians/degrees in the inspector for angle properties (if actually wanted).
* Animations previously made will most likely break, need to add a way to make old ones compatible.
* Only added a "px" suffix to 2D position and a "m" one to 3D position, someone needs to go through the rest of the engine and add all remaining suffixes.
* Likely also need to track down usage of EditorSpinSlider outside properties to add suffixes to it too.
Make sure the direction of the motion is preserved, unless the depth is
higher than the margin, which means the body needs depenetration in any
direction.
Also changed move_and_slide to avoid sliding on the first motion, in
order to avoid issues with unstable position on ground when jumping.

* Renames for 2D and 3D
* Class name was confusing, given both 2D and 3D have a "visible" property that is unrelated to actual on-screen visibility.
* New name makes it clear that this is about visibility on screen.
* This is the 3D counterpart to #49632
* Implemented a bit different as 3D works using instancing
After merged, both 2D and 3D classes will most likely be renamed in a separate PR to DisplayNotifier2D/3D.
Renames get_parent_spatial() to get_parent_node3d() and changes its
implementation. Before it was not returning a correct pointer if the
node wasn't added to a SceneTree. Now it uses the same implementation as
CanvasItem, which will be correct even for nodes outside a SceneTree.
This commit adds the following properties to GeometryInstance3D: `visibility_range_begin`,
`visibility_range_begin_margin`, `visibility_range_end`, `visibility_range_end_margin`.
Together they define a range in which the GeometryInstance3D will be visible from the camera,
taking hysteresis into account for state changes. A begin or end value of 0 will be ignored,
so the visibility range can be open-ended in both directions.
This commit also adds the `visibility_parent` property to 'Node3D'.
Which defines the visibility parents of the node and its subtree (until
another parent is defined).
Visual instances with a visibility parent will only be visible when the parent, and all of its
ancestors recursively, are hidden because they are closer to the camera than their respective
`visibility_range_begin` thresholds.
Combining visibility ranges and visibility parents users can set-up a quick HLOD system
that shows high detail meshes when close (i.e buildings, trees) and merged low detail meshes
for far away groups (i.e. cities, woods).
