Our files are up to a decade old, and have churned so much, that the initial author of the file no longer has much meaning.
Furthermore, this will encourage developers to post to the developer group, rather than emailing Googlers (usually me) directly.
There is significant confusion in names and comments with regards to variables and procedures. `Blockly.Generator.prototype.variableDB_` is a Blockly.Names database, not a variable map. This rename introduces a getter and setter so deprecated references still work. This commit also fixes some comments which are either outright wrong or misleading regarding variable and procedure names.
* Google changed from an Inc to an LLC.
This happened back in 2017 but we didn’t notice. Officially we should update files from Inc to LLC when they are changed as part of regular edits, but this is a nightmare to remember for the next decade.
* Remove project description/titles from licenses
This is no longer part of Google’s header requirements. Our existing descriptions were useless (“Visual Blocks Editor”) or grossly obselete (“Visual Blocks Language”).
* License no longer requires URL.
* Fix license regexps.
Number() is a bit less forgiving than parseFloat() and is more likely to generate NaN rather than some random number. An audit of each case shows nowhere that parseFloat()’s features are needed.
This allows generators to have more control over the placement of suffix. Needed for ‘if’ blocks and function calls which require their suffix code to be somewhere other than the end.
Also, add loop’s prefix to ‘break’ blocks, since the loop’s suffix will be the next statement hit.
Also, reuse procedures_callreturn generator for procedures_callnoreturn.
