`OS.shell_open()` will pass on the path directly to the OS' shell
handler (which can handle file paths or URLs). It can't handle
Godot-specific paths, so these need to be converted with
`ProjectSettings.globalize_path()` first.

Although 2D draws in painters order with strict ordering, in certain circumstances items can be reordered to increase batching / decrease state changes, without affecting the end result. This can be determined by an overlap test.
In situation with item:
A-B-A
providing the third item does not overlap the second, they can be reordered:
A-A-B
Items already contain an AABB which can be used for this overlap test.
1)
To utilise this, I have implemented item reordering (only for single rects for now), with the lookahead adjustable in project settings. This can increase performance in situations where items may not be grouped in the scene tree by texture. It can also be switched off (by setting lookahead to 0).
2)
This same trick can be used to help join items that are lit. Lit items previously would prevent joining completely, thus missing out on performance gains other than multi-command items such as tilemaps.
In this PR, lights are assigned as bits in a bitfield (up to 64, the optimization is disabled above this), and on each try_item (for joining), the bitfield for lights and shadows is constructed and compared with the previous items. If these match the 2 items can potentially be joined. However, this can only be done without changing the rendered result if an overlap test is successful.
This overlap test can be adjusted to join items up to a specific number of item references, selectable in project settings, or turned off.
3)
The legacy uniform single rect drawing routine seems to have been identified as the source of flicker, particularly on nvidia. However, it can also be up to 2x as fast. Because of the speed the batching contains a fallback where it can use the legacy single rect method, but I have now added a project setting to make this switchable. In most cases with batching it should not be necessary (as single rects are drawn less frequently) and thus the flickering can be totally avoided.
4)
This PR also fixes a color modulate bug when drawing light passes, in certain situations (particularly custom _draw routines with multiple rects).
5)
This PR also fixes#38291, a bug in the legacy renderer where light passes could draw rects in wrong position.
This references Godot's winding order at the top of every
procedural geometry class, as well as referencing other classes
within a given geometry class.
A warning about ImmediateGeometry3D performance was also added.

This also replaces a non-breaking space that was accidentally added in
the EditorFeatureProfile documentation.
This closes#31393.

Added project setting to enable / disable print frame diagnostics every 10 seconds. This prints out a list of batches and info, which is useful to optimize games and identify performance problems.
I had no idea what 'coordinate' meant in the context of autotiles, so just adding some clarification for future people who have the same problem.

* Added additional clarification for the function of the 'deep'
parameter in the Dictionary's `duplicate` method.
(cherry picked from commit 469b7c948f)
* item_selected and item_focused docs incorrectly had 'id' as the parameter. Changed to
'index'.
* Fix parameter name in ADD_SIGNAL callin code.
(cherry picked from commit a8de034f78)
Added information about the intervals of values that the functions
`store_{8,16,32,64}()` can correctly write to the file.
