Refactored the following template classes by replacing runtime checks with compile-time checks using if constexpr for improved code clarity and maintainability:
- RID_Alloc
- SortArray
- PagedAllocator
Changes made:
- Updated conditional checks for THREAD_SAFE in the RID_Alloc class.
- Updated conditional checks for Validate in the SortArray class.
- Updated conditional checks for thread_safe in the PagedAllocator class.
ResourceLoader:
- Fix invalid tokens being returned.
- Remove no longer written `ThreadLoadTask::dependent_path` and the code reading from it.
- Clear deadlock hazard by keeping the mutex unlocked during userland polling.
WorkerThreadPool:
- Include thread call queue override in the thread state reset set, which allows to simplify the code that handled that (imperfectly) in the ResourceLoader.
- Handle the mutex type correctly on entering an allowance zone.
CommandQueueMT:
- Handle the additional possibility of command buffer reallocation that mutex unlock allowance introduces.
Update CowData::insert to call ptrw() before loop, to avoid calling _copy_on_write for each item in the array, as well as repeated index checks in set and get. For larger Vectors/Arrays, this makes inserts around 10x faster for ints, 3x faster for Strings, and 2x faster for Variants. Less of an impact on smaller Vectors/Arrays, as a larger percentage of the time is spent allocating.
Random-access access to `List` when iterating is `O(n^2)` (`O(n)` when
accessing a single element)
* Removed subscript operator, in favor of a more explicit `get`
* Added conversion from `Iterator` to `ConstIterator`
* Remade existing operations into other solutions when applicable
* Servers now use WorkerThreadPool for background computation.
* This helps keep the number of threads used fixed at all times.
* It also ensures everything works on HTML5 with threads.
* And makes it easier to support disabling threads for also HTML5.
CommandQueueMT now syncs with the servers via the WorkerThreadPool
yielding mechanism, which makes its classic main sync semaphore
superfluous.
Also, some warnings about calls that kill performance when using
threaded rendering are removed because there's a mechanism that
warns about that in a more general fashion.

Adds fixed timestep interpolation to the rendering server (2D only).
Switchable on and off with a project setting (default is off).

Following upgrades to `CowData` to 64 bit indices these helpers are no
longer able to handle the index ranges, possibly causing bugs on sort
and search.
Existing shadow caster culling takes no account of the camera.
This PR adds the highly encapsulated class RenderingLightCuller which can cut down the casters in the shadow volume to only those which can cast shadows on the camera frustum.
Just a little optimization.
**NOTE:**
With `RID_Owner` we could replace each pair of `PagedAllocator` and
`HashMap`-of-ids-to-pointers. However, that would force us to expose
`RID` as the task/group id, instead of `int`, which would break the
API. Too bad. Let's wait until Godot 5.0.
This commit lets CommandQueueMT play nicely with the WorkerThreadPool to avoid
non-progressable situations caused by an interdependence between both. While a
command queue is being flushed, it allows the WTP to release its lock while tasks
are being awaited so they can make progress in case they need in turn to post
to the command queue.
Copying of these types is unsafe and should be detected
Also removed unnecessary constructors for `TileMap` `DebugQuadrant` and
`RenderingQuadrant` which used copying of `SelfList::List`
