* General proofreading for grammar and spelling
* General formatting
* Addition of appropriate literals where appropriate, i.e. `&"foo"` for `StringName` cases and `^"foo/bar"` for `NodePath` cases
This provides mouse sensitivity that is independent of the viewport
size, without needing to query for project settings.
This also inverts the mouse motion direction in the 3D navigation demo
to better match expectations, and increases mouse sensitivity in the
Window Management demo to be closer to other demos.
Make it more obvious to newcomers how this demo works so they can
replicate it in their projects.
Change the text to point to how this is working.
Add Editor Descriptions to make it clearer how this is setup.

- Increase physics ticks per second to 120, so that UI interactions feel
smoother and have lower input lag. This happens since input is governed
by the physics tick due to the use of physics picking.
- Add a placeholder to the LineEdit and select a default option in the OptionButton.
Physics picking requires that the SubViewport has a consistent state
of the mouse-enter/exit notifications.
Godot V4.3 was changed in comparison to V4.2, so that it now requires
this additional step.

The 3D demos aren't very demanding and Godot has been optimized
a bit since 4.0's release, so we can afford using higher quality
shadow settings for less noisy shadow filtering.
This also tweaks shadow bias to reduce shadow acne in the Voxel demo.
The time slider in the Physical Light and Camera units demo now
allows for more precise adjustments.
This leads to code that is easier to understand and runs
faster thanks to GDScript's typed instructions.
The untyped declaration warning is now enabled on all projects
where type hints were added. All projects currently run without
any untyped declration warnings.
Dodge the Creeps and Squash the Creeps demos intentionally don't
use type hints to match the documentation, where type hints haven't
been adopted yet (given its beginner focus).
- Move all demo projects that don't require Forward+/Mobile-only features
to the Compatibility rendering method. This improves performance significantly
on low-end devices and ensures visuals are identical to a web export
of the demo.
- Set deadzone on all inputs to 0.2 for better gamepad usability.
- Remove reliance on `default_env.tres` to use built-in Environment
resources in the main scene instead (which follows the preview environment
workflow).
- Remove notices pointing to GDNative or VisualScript, since both were
removed in 4.0.
- Various bug fixes and usability tweaks to 10+ demos.
* Remove unnecessary use of `self`
* Connect to signals directly over `connect("name")`
* Use `call_deferred` on callables over `call_deferred("name"))`
* Emit signals directly over `emit_signal("name"...)`
Rework GUI in 3D Demo to handle mouse events via
Physics Picking instead of in _unhandled_input.
This brings several benefits:
- Correctly handle cases, where the 3D-GUI is located behind other
collision objects.
- Proper passive hovering support
This allows also to make simplifications in the code, because
3D-mouse position no longer needs to be calculated manually.
The 3d_scaling demo was updated to use the built-in 3D scaling mechanisms
in the Forward+ and Mobile renderer (Compatibility in 4.3).

All demos were opened with Godot 4.2.1, with the mesh format
upgraded for 3D demos.
The 3D antialiasing demo now uses Extra Cull Margin on the last
object to prevent it from disappearing too early when the camera
rotates (due to its use of shader-based animation).
A GLES2-specific tweak is now documented for the GUI in 3D demo.
This also tweaks shadow quality and performance to find a better
balance and result in smoother shadows, including when using GLES2
(thanks to the use of PCF13 shadow filter mode).
In demos that allow falling back to GLES2, ETC1 texture import
is enabled to allow exporting to Android or HTML5 without having
to tweak anything.
- Enable anisotropic filtering in 3D demos, and set the quality to
16× on desktop and 4× on mobile.
- Enable 4× MSAA on some 3D demos that didn't use it beforehand.
- On GLES3 demos, disable MSAA on mobile as these demos are often
more demanding.
- Use more conservative framebuffer allocation settings for better
performance.
- Use PCF13 shadow filtering in GLES2 demos on desktop to benefit
from soft shadows in Godot 3.2.4 and later.
In Godot 3.2.3, this will make shadows smoother but still "blocky".
- Use Lossless compression instead of VRAM compression for
small textures such as the voxel demo texture atlas.
It turns out using a TextureRect node isn't necessary :)
The typical ViewportContainer + Viewport setup can be used just
fine to enable filtering on the ViewportTexture returned by the
Viewport.
The performance of the new method is equivalent to the old one.
This is required to benefit from crisp display on hiDPI monitors.
This also fixes issues related to fullscreen and input handling
when using an hiDPI display on Windows.
