K. S. Ernest (iFire) Lee 9a4df15d3e Codebase Enhancements and Performance Improvements
We've made several updates to improve our codebase and application performance.

- Clang format was applied for better readability and consistency, aiding other developers in understanding and contributing to the code.
- We resolved issues that were causing visual script compilation failure. The visual script now compiles successfully, ensuring application functionality.
- Broken sections within the codebase were fixed, improving overall stability.
- Built-in functions from the visual script were removed to simplify the code and enhance readability.
- Generic search performance was improved to provide faster results, enhancing user experience.
- Missing flow nodes were added to the Visual Script, ensuring all necessary components are present for correct functioning.

In an effort to streamline the codebase:

- `VisualScriptComment` class and related code were removed, reducing complexity and improving maintainability.
- Error messages were optimized for quicker feedback when errors occur.
- Licenses were updated to reflect recent changes, ensuring legal compliance and project transparency.
- The `get_global_name()` override in `visual_script.h` was fixed, and `TYPE_BUILTIN_FUNC` in `visual_script_expression.h` was removed, improving code functionality.
- Search logic was refactored to avoid double searching, enhancing performance.
- Documentation was updated to reflect recent changes, providing accurate information to users and developers.
- Property selection logic in `VisualScriptPropertySelector` was refactored for easier understanding and modification.
- Code was refactored to avoid variable shadowing, improving readability and reducing potential errors.
- `.clang-format` and `.clang-tidy` configuration files were added to ensure consistent code styling.

To make the code more robust and easier to understand:

- Variable names were corrected for clarity, and error handling in `visual_script_expression.cpp` was improved.
- Function and variable names were refactored for better readability and maintainability.
- Member editing logic in `VisualScriptEditor` was simplified.
- Name variables were updated to be unique, avoiding potential conflicts and errors.
- The `VisualScriptSubCall` class was refactored for simplicity and ease of understanding.

For macOS workflow:

- It was updated to use the latest version and correct path for installing Vulkan SDK, enabling the application to leverage the latest features and improvements from the Vulkan SDK.
- Mac Vulkan SDK was installed to support Vulkan-based functionalities.

Lastly, we made necessary changes to pass CI/CD tests, ensuring the code quality and stability of the application.

<description>
Execute the custom node's logic, returning the index of the output sequence port to use or a [String] when there is an error.
The [code]inputs[/code] array contains the values of the input ports.
[code]outputs[/code] is an array whose indices should be set to the respective outputs.
The [code]start_mode[/code] is usually [constant START_MODE_BEGIN_SEQUENCE], unless you have used the [code]STEP_*[/code] constants.
[code]working_mem[/code] is an array which can be used to persist information between runs of the custom node. The size needs to be predefined using [method _get_working_memory_size].
When returning, you can mask the returned value with one of the [code]STEP_*[/code] constants.

</methods>
<constants>
<constant name="START_MODE_BEGIN_SEQUENCE" value="0" enum="StartMode">
The start mode used the first time when [method _step] is called.
</constant>
<constant name="START_MODE_CONTINUE_SEQUENCE" value="1" enum="StartMode">
The start mode used when [method _step] is called after coming back from a [constant STEP_PUSH_STACK_BIT].
</constant>
<constant name="START_MODE_RESUME_YIELD" value="2" enum="StartMode">
The start mode used when [method _step] is called after resuming from [constant STEP_YIELD_BIT].
</constant>
<constant name="STEP_PUSH_STACK_BIT" value="16777216">
Hint used by [method _step] to tell that control should return to it when there is no other node left to execute.
This is used by [VisualScriptCondition] to redirect the sequence to the "Done" port after the [code]true[/code]/[code]false[/code] branch has finished execution.
</constant>
<constant name="STEP_GO_BACK_BIT" value="33554432">
Hint used by [method _step] to tell that control should return back, either hitting a previous [constant STEP_PUSH_STACK_BIT] or exiting the function.
</constant>
<constant name="STEP_NO_ADVANCE_BIT" value="67108864">
</constant>
<constant name="STEP_EXIT_FUNCTION_BIT" value="134217728">
Hint used by [method _step] to tell that control should stop and exit the function.
</constant>
<constant name="STEP_YIELD_BIT" value="268435456">
Hint used by [method _step] to tell that the function should be yielded.
Using this requires you to have at least one working memory slot, which is used for the [VisualScriptFunctionState].
