reduz 455c06ecd4 Implement Vector4, Vector4i, Projection
Implement built-in classes Vector4, Vector4i and Projection.

* Two versions of Vector4 (float and integer).
* A Projection class, which is a 4x4 matrix specialized in projection types.

These types have been requested for a long time, but given they were very corner case they were not added before.
Because in Godot 4, reimplementing parts of the rendering engine is now possible, access to these types (heavily used by the rendering code) becomes a necessity.

**Q**: Why Projection and not Matrix4?
**A**: Godot does not use Matrix2, Matrix3, Matrix4x3, etc. naming convention because, within the engine, these types always have a *purpose*. As such, Godot names them: Transform2D, Transform3D or Basis. In this case, this 4x4 matrix is _always_ used as a _Projection_, hence the naming.

3D transformation (3×4 matrix).
</brief_description>
<description>
3×4 matrix (3 rows, 4 columns) used for 3D linear transformations. It can represent transformations such as translation, rotation, or scaling. It consists of a [member basis] (first 3 columns) and a [Vector3] for the [member origin] (last column).
For more information, read the "Matrices and transforms" documentation article.

<methods>
<method name="affine_inverse" qualifiers="const">
<return type="Transform3D" />
<description>
Returns the inverse of the transform, under the assumption that the transformation is composed of rotation, scaling and translation.
</description>
</method>

<argument index="1" name="weight" type="float" />
<description>
Returns a transform interpolated between this transform and another by a given [code]weight[/code] (on the range of 0.0 to 1.0).
</description>
</method>
<method name="inverse" qualifiers="const">
<return type="Transform3D" />
<description>
Returns the inverse of the transform, under the assumption that the transformation is composed of rotation and translation (no scaling, use [method affine_inverse] for transforms with scaling).
</description>
</method>
<method name="is_equal_approx" qualifiers="const">
<return type="bool" />
<argument index="0" name="xform" type="Transform3D" />
<description>
Returns [code]true[/code] if this transform and [code]transform[/code] are approximately equal, by calling [code]is_equal_approx[/code] on each component.
</description>
</method>
<method name="looking_at" qualifiers="const">
<return type="Transform3D" />
<argument index="0" name="target" type="Vector3" />
<argument index="1" name="up" type="Vector3" default="Vector3(0, 1, 0)" />
<description>
Returns a copy of the transform rotated such that the forward axis (-Z) points towards the [code]target[/code] position.
The up axis (+Y) points as close to the [code]up[/code] vector as possible while staying perpendicular to the forward axis. The resulting transform is orthonormalized. The existing rotation, scale, and skew information from the original transform is discarded. The [code]target[/code] and [code]up[/code] vectors cannot be zero, cannot be parallel to each other, and are defined in global/parent space.

<description>
Returns the transform with the basis orthogonal (90 degrees), and normalized axis vectors (scale of 1 or -1).
