Allows a non-interpolated particle system to closely follow an interpolated target without tracking ahead of the target, by performing fixed timestep interpolation on the particle system global transform, and using this for emission.

The purpose of this code is to expose the necessary
functions for users and engine devs to develop tooling
for properly timing and seeking inside particles.

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).
Particles won't move or rotate anymore with the node (or its parents)
by default. This new default behavior is generally more suited
to most use cases. Local coordinates can still be enabled on a per-node basis.
This affects both 2D and 3D particles, and both CPU and GPU-based particles.
This makes it easier to spot syntax errors when editing the
class reference. The schema is referenced locally so validation
can still work offline.
Each class XML's schema conformance is also checked on GitHub Actions.
This commit adds quite a chunk of modifications to particles
- particle (value + randomness) now use min and max instead
- passing a curveXYZtexture is now possible and will scale particles per-axis
- CPUParticle3D have an optional parameter to split the scale curve per-axis
For the time being we don't support writing a description for those, preferring
having all details in the method's description.
Using self-closing tags saves half the lines, and prevents contributors from
thinking that they should write the argument or return documentation there.
Lots of internal API changes and some docstrings were lost in the conversion.
I manually salvaged many of them but for all the rendering-related ones, an
additional pass is needed.
Added missing enum bindings in BaseMaterial3D and VisualServer.
We already removed it from the online docs with #35132.
Currently it can only be "Built-In Types" (Variant types) or "Core"
(everything else), which is of limited use.
We might also want to consider dropping it from `ClassDB` altogether
in Godot 4.0.
- Add some missing descriptions.
- Add links to tutorials for ARVR and AnimationTree.
- Style fixes.
- Engine changes:
* Make `AnimationNodeTransition.input_<number>` properties internal
so that they don't appear in the docs. They still appear in the
inspector based on the actual number of inputs requested.
* Drop unimplemented `CPUParticles.flatness`. It's only used for 3D
particles in `ParticlesMaterial`, and thus only relevant for
`CPUParticles3D`.
Setters and getters have been hidden from the documentation when the matching
properties have been exposed, but some of them are parametric and require the
name or index of a given parameter to be used. So they need to be properly
documented with the type and name of the arguments they take.
For example, CPUParticles' `set_param(Parameter param, float value)`.
