* Shader compilation is now cached. Subsequent loads take less than a millisecond.
* Improved game, editor and project manager startup time.
* Editor uses .godot/shader_cache to store shaders.
* Game uses user://shader_cache
* Project manager uses $config_dir/shader_cache
* Options to tweak shader caching in project settings.
* Editor path configuration moved from EditorSettings to new class, EditorPaths, so it can be available early on (before shaders are compiled).
* Reworked ShaderCompilerRD to ensure deterministic shader code creation (else shader may change and cache will be invalidated).
* Added shader compression with SMOLV: https://github.com/aras-p/smol-v
- Tweak the setting property hint to be more informative.
- Make the setting a "basic" setting so it appears when Advanced Settings
is disabled.
- Remove redundant orientation setting in the iOS export preset.
The project setting is now used (like on Android).
Projects upgrading from a previous version will have to set the
screen orientation again in the Project Settings if it wasn't set
to the default value ("landscape").
We found that this flag causes this error on PR #48812 which does not add any
fancy inline assembly:
```
/tmp/tile_set-ce236a.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/tile_set-ce236a.s:34676: Error: selected processor does not support `bfc x0,#32,#32'
clang++: error: assembler command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
```
That flag is mentioned in various errors related to assembler failures on
arm64v8 with Clang from the Android NDK.
It was added in Godot in #6958 when migrating from GCC to Clang, and is indeed
referenced in the NDK's Clang migration guide:
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/ndk/+/master/docs/ClangMigration.md
> Especially for ARM and ARM64, Clang is much stricter about assembler rules
> than GCC/GAS. Use `-fno-integrated-as` if Clang reports errors in inline
> assembly or assembly files that you don't wish to modernize.
We don't get those errors nowadays so it seems the flag is no longer needed.
This changes the types of a big number of variables.
General rules:
- Using `uint64_t` in general. We also considered `int64_t` but eventually
settled on keeping it unsigned, which is also closer to what one would expect
with `size_t`/`off_t`.
- We only keep `int64_t` for `seek_end` (takes a negative offset from the end)
and for the `Variant` bindings, since `Variant::INT` is `int64_t`. This means
we only need to guard against passing negative values in `core_bind.cpp`.
- Using `uint32_t` integers for concepts not needing such a huge range, like
pages, blocks, etc.
In addition:
- Improve usage of integer types in some related places; namely, `DirAccess`,
core binds.
Note:
- On Windows, `_ftelli64` reports invalid values when using 32-bit MinGW with
version < 8.0. This was an upstream bug fixed in 8.0. It breaks support for
big files on 32-bit Windows builds made with that toolchain. We might add a
workaround.
Fixes#44363.

See discussion in #43811, it was only implemented on iOS and even that
implementation was fairly limited. This would best be provided as plugins
for Android and iOS without cluttering the shared OS API.
We've been using standard C library functions `memcpy`/`memset` for these since
2016 with 67f65f6639.
There was still the possibility for third-party platform ports to override the
definitions with a custom header, but this doesn't seem useful anymore.
