788f075b44 Portals - Allow user to set roaming expansion margin
Previously a crude metric was used to decide on the roaming expansion margin, but it created unexpected results in some scenarios. Instead this setting is exposed to the user via the RoomManager, allowing them to tailor it to the world size, room sizes, roaming objects sizes and the speeds of movement.

f3e6547a99 Portals - fix PVS generation and move settings
Fixed a bug in the complex PVS generation which was causing recursive loop.
Move some of the settings out of RoomManager into Project Settings.
Allow PVS generation method to be selected from Project Settings, and control PVS logging.

2eae35693e Portals - change import naming convention to postfix
In response to user demand, the naming convention for importing levels from blender etc is changed from prefixes `Room_` and `Portal_` to postfixes `-room`, `-roomgroup`, `-portal`.

8c4c6a93b0 Portals - Remove node naming restrictions
The use of special prefixes is only actually required during the import phase - the first conversion of rooms, roomgroups, and portals from Spatials and MeshInstances (based on the workflow of importing from blender).

Once converted to the native Godot nodes there is no longer a need for the naming requirements.

This PR removes the requirements except for the import. Manual portal linking after the initial conversion is now done exclusively using the `linked_room` nodepath property of the Portal.

776623d56b Portals - Improve UI and add shortcuts
This PR makes the 'convert rooms' button permanently on the toolbar and accessible whichever node is selected, so you can convert rooms without having to select the RoomManager first.

It also adds a togglable item 'view portal culling' to the 'View' menu which is a simple way of setting the RoomManager 'active' setting without the RoomManager being the selected node.

Both of these have keyboard shortcuts, which should make it much faster to reconvert rooms and edit.

In addition there the string in the 'Perspective' Listbox is modified to show [portals active] when portal culling is operational, for visual feedback. This is updated when you change modes, and when the rooms are invalidated.

d012a26e6a Portals - Fix default portal margin loading
The default portal margin is stored in the RoomManager. Previously this was propagated to Portals when the value was changed, and Portals each stored this default value.

This caused a bug during loading, if the RoomManager was loaded before Portals, the value was never propagated.

This PR makes the default margin a static value stored in the RoomManager, and the Portals now read directly from the static value when required, and do not store locally. This gets around the problem.

In order to make level building easier, the system can now support STATIC and DYNAMIC objects in the roomlist that are not placed in rooms. The system will automatically place them in the appropriate room.

44f9a0f961 Portals - fix autolink sprawling, refine logs
It turned out the new autolinking feature was linking portals AFTER the static meshes had been added to rooms in the PortalRenderer. This meant that large meshes weren't being sprawled across these portals. The fix involves doing the autolinking BEFORE adding the static meshes.

Fixes a bug in the warning for portals being in the wrong direction, they should have only been checkout for outgoing portals. This was resulting in erroneous warnings.

Also the room conversion logs are refined to be more compact and informative.

A warning icon is also added in the gizmo for portals where autolink fails.
