SkeletonIK3D is now deprecated, but Skeleton3D is recommending looking into its use for complicated inverse kinematics. What's worse, the removed line is not perfectly clear for non-developers and people less experienced with the engine, and could still stand to be improved.
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).
Removes all 3D modification resources. SkeletonIK3D is a node and still supported.
Remove deprecated Skeleton3D functionality for 4.0, so we can add it back in 4.x.
Remove local_pose_override feature from Skeleton3D and BoneAttachment3D.
Expose Skeleton3D::get_version() so IK scripts/extensions can cache bones.
Note: This change only affects 3D. SkeletonModification2D will work as before.
Mark SkeletonModificationStack3D and related as deprecated.
Mark local bone override and axis functions deprecated in Skeleton3D api.
Fix array property glitch in SkeletonModificationStack2D
Mark SkeletonModificationStack2D and related APIs as experimental. Mark SkeletonIK3D as deprecated.
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.
* Animations and Skeletons are now pose-only.
* Rest transform is kept as reference (when it exists) and for IK
* Improves 3D model compatibility (non uniform transforms will properly work, as well as all animations coming from Autodesk products).
* `Animation.TYPE_TRANSFORM3D` track is gone.
* Added POSITION_3D, ROTATION_3D, SCALE_3D tracks.
* GLTF2, Collada, FBX importers will only import the track types found.
* Skeleton3D bone poses are now Pos/Rot/Scale, pose matrix removed.
* AnimationPlayer and AnimationTree animate these tracks separately, only when found.
* Removed BakeReset code, is useless with these changes.
This is the first in a series of commits designed to make the animation system in Godot more useful, which includes:
* Better compatibility with Autodesk products
* Better reusability of animations across models (including retargeting).
* Proper animation compression.
* etc.
*Note* GLTF2 animation saving went broken with this PR, needs to be fixed in a subsequent one.
This PR and commit adds a new IK system for 3D with the Skeleton3D node
that adds several new IK solvers, as well as additional changes and functionality
for making bone manipulation in Godot easier.

Full list of changes:
* Adds a SkeletonModification3D resource
* This resource is the base where all IK code is written and executed
* Adds a SkeletonModificationStack3D resource
* This node oversees the execution of the modifications and acts as a bridge of sorts for the modifications to the Skeleton3D node
* Adds SkeletonModification3D resources for LookAt, CCDIK, FABRIK, Jiggle, and TwoBoneIK
* Each modification is in it's own file
* Several changes to Skeletons, listed below:
* Added local_pose_override, which acts just like global_pose_override but keeps bone-child relationships intract
* So if you move a bone using local_pose_override, all of the bones that are children will also be moved. This is different than global_pose_override, which only affects the individual bone
* Internally bones keep track of their children. This removes the need of a processing list, makes it possible to update just a few select bones at a time, and makes it easier to traverse down the bone chain
* Additional functions added for converting from world transform to global poses, global poses to local poses, and all the same changes but backwards (local to global, global to world). This makes it much easier to work with bone transforms without needing to think too much about how to convert them.
* New signal added, bone_pose_changed, that can be used to tell if a specific bone changed its transform. Needed for BoneAttachment3D
* Added functions for getting the forward position of a bone
* BoneAttachment3D node refactored heavily
* BoneAttachment3D node is now completely standalone in its functionality.
* This makes the code easier and less interconnected, as well as allowing them to function properly without being direct children of Skeleton3D nodes
* BoneAttachment3D now can be set either using the index or the bone name.
* BoneAttachment3D nodes can now set the bone transform instead of just following it. This is disabled by default for compatibility
* BoneAttachment3D now shows a warning when not configured correctly
* Added rotate_to_align function in Basis
* Added class reference documentation for all changes
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.
