* New syntax is type safe.
* New syntax allows for type safe virtuals in native extensions.
* New syntax permits extremely fast calling.
Note: Everything was replaced where possible except for `_gui_input` `_input` and `_unhandled_input`.
These will require API rework on a separate PR as they work different than the rest of the functions.
Added a new method flag METHOD_FLAG_OBJECT_CORE, used internally. Allows to not dump the core virtuals like `_notification` to the json API, since each language will implement those as it is best fits.
- Fix library loading and initialization.
- Add extra methods/parameters in the interface needed by extenstions.
- Add Variant destructors and functions for extracting values and
creating Variants from values.
Variants like dictionaries and arrays can have cyclic references, which
caused `encode_variant` to run an infinite recursion.
Instead of keeping a stack and looking for cyclic references which would
make serialization slower, this commit adds a `MAX_RECURSION_DEPTH`
constant to Variant, and have `encode_variant` keep track of the current
recursion depth, bailing when it's too high since this likely means a
cyclic reference has been encountered.
This should fix various issues where retrieving enum values from
scripting languages would result in corrupted values (where 32 bits
were valid, and the other 32 random data).

The `Math_INF` and `Math_NAN` defines were just aliases for those
constants, so we might as well use them directly.
Some portions of the code were already using `INFINITY` directly.
* Lua table syntax uses named indexing: `{ mykey = myvalue }`
* Python style syntax uses string indexing: `{ "mykey" : myvalue }`
* Both are incompatible since a StringName key wont fetch a String key, hence confusing.
* This PR proposes always using String for indexing at a very minimal performance cost. Always indexing with StringNames will be faster, but they are considerably more expensive to create.
* Deprecates GDNative in favor of a simpler, lower level interface.
* New extension system allows registering core engine classes.
* Simple header interface in gdnative_interace.h
