Existing shadow caster culling using the BVH takes no account of the camera. This PR adds the highly encapsulated class VisualServerLightCuller which can cut down the casters in the shadow volume to only those which can cast shadows on the camera frustum.
This is used to:
* More accurately defer dirty updates to shadows when the shadow volume does not intersect the camera frustum.
* Tighter cull shadow casters to the view frustum.
Lights dirty state is now automatically managed:
* Continuous (tighter caster culling)
* Static (all casters are rendered)

Adds optional hierarchical culling to the 2D rendering (within VisualServer).
Each canvas item maintains a bound in local space of the item itself and all child / grandchild items. This allows branches to be culled at once when they don't intersect a viewport.

Previously if an action was both pressed and released on the same tick or frame, `is_action_just_pressed()` would return false, resulting in missed input.
This PR separately the timestamp for pressing and releasing so each can be tested independently.

- Adds more customization options to ProjectSettings.
- Displays navregion edge connections and navigation polygon edges in editor and at runtime.
- Majority of debug code moved from SceneTree to NavigationServer.
- Removes the irritating debug MeshInstance child node from NavigationRegion3D and replaces it with direct RenderingServer API.

Large groups of similar rects can be processed more efficiently using the MultiRect command. Processing common to the group can be done as a one off, instead of per rect.
Adds the new API to VisualServerCanvas, and uses the new functionality from Font, BitmapFont, DynamicFont and TileMap, via the VisualServerCanvasHelper class.

Adds the option to change the audio driver to the Dummy driver and back at runtime, with a set of MuteState flags - Disabled (user control), Silence (period of silence), Focus Loss (when app is not in focus), and Paused (when app is paused).
Control for the flags is added for the editor in EditorSettings, and for the project in ProjectSettings.
Editor defaults to muted (Dummy driver) when there is no audio output, and automatically switches to active on output. This significantly reduces CPU usage.

- Add a range hint to the Viewport `shadow_atlas_size` property.
- Add range steps to the shadow resolution project settings that
match the lowest allowed values (since lower increments don't
make sense).
Having a mix of settings with and without subcategory makes the 'Editor'
section stand out with a weird UX, as instead of simply being a foldable
section like the others, it also holds its own top-level settings and is
therefore selectable.
This wasn't the case in 3.4, and is fixed in 4.0 by refactoring, so for
3.5 we should preserve the 3.4 UX, even if it's not the best.

When an exported project crashes, the crash handler message
shouldn't reference the Godot issue tracker, as not all crashes
are Godot's fault.
Reporting crashes that only occur on exported projects is still allowed,
but it should not be done by people who aren't working on the project
in question.
