The min SCons version had to be bumped as SCons 3.0 before 3.0.3 seems
broken (see #92043), and there's little gain from supporting 3.0.3-3.0.5.
3.1.2 is also the first version to avoid ambiguities between Python 2
and Python 3 usage, so we finally use it as the minimum baseline.
Also test against Python 3.6 which is also our minimum supported version.
This should help prevent regressions whenever we modernize the build scripts.
This ensures that the godot-cpp job has plenty of resources
to run its build and avoid being affected by the main build.
Additionally:
- Extract test tasks into dedicated actions.
- Upload artifacts as early as possible.
- Ensure that we check master cache before random cache.

New `target` presets
====================
The `tools` option is removed and `target` changes to use three new presets,
which match the builds users are familiar with. These targets control the
default optimization level and enable editor-specific and debugging code:
- `editor`: Replaces `tools=yes target=release_debug`.
* Defines: `TOOLS_ENABLED`, `DEBUG_ENABLED`, `-O2`/`/O2`
- `template_debug`: Replaces `tools=no target=release_debug`.
* Defines: `DEBUG_ENABLED`, `-O2`/`/O2`
- `template_release`: Replaces `tools=no target=release`.
* Defines: `-O3`/`/O2`
New `dev_build` option
======================
The previous `target=debug` is now replaced by a separate `dev_build=yes`
option, which can be used in combination with either of the three targets,
and changes the following:
- `dev_build`: Defines `DEV_ENABLED`, disables optimization (`-O0`/`/0d`),
enables generating debug symbols, does not define `NDEBUG` so `assert()`
works in thirdparty libraries, adds a `.dev` suffix to the binary name.
Note: Unlike previously, `dev_build` defaults to off so that users who
compile Godot from source get an optimized and small build by default.
Engine contributors should now set `dev_build=yes` in their build scripts or
IDE configuration manually.
Changed binary names
====================
The name of generated binaries and object files are changed too, to follow
this format:
`godot.<platform>.<target>[.dev][.double].<arch>[.<extra_suffix>][.<ext>]`
For example:
- `godot.linuxbsd.editor.dev.arm64`
- `godot.windows.template_release.double.x86_64.mono.exe`
Be sure to update your links/scripts/IDE config accordingly.
More flexible `optimize` and `debug_symbols` options
====================================================
The optimization level and whether to generate debug symbols can be further
specified with the `optimize` and `debug_symbols` options. So the default
values listed above for the various `target` and `dev_build` combinations
are indicative and can be replaced when compiling, e.g.:
`scons p=linuxbsd target=template_debug dev_build=yes optimize=debug`
will make a "debug" export template with dev-only code enabled, `-Og`
optimization level for GCC/Clang, and debug symbols. Perfect for debugging
complex crashes at runtime in an exported project.

Also reset cache keys as we're going to cleanup all caches.
This doesn't change the behavior when `--jobs`/`-j` is specified as a
command-line argument or in `SCONSFLAGS`.
The SCons hack used to know if `num_jobs` was set by the user is derived
from the MongoDB setup.
We use `os.cpu_count()` for portability (available since Python 3.4).
With 4 CPUs or less, we use the max. With more than 4 we use max - 1 to
preserve some bandwidth for the user's other programs.
SConstruct change also makes it possible to outright delete the `editor`
folder in a `tools=no` build, which we use in CI to ensure no invalid
cross-dependencies are added.
