If the type of a variable is a built-in Variant type, then it will
automatically be assigned a default value based on the type. This means
that the explicit initialization may be unnecessary. Thus this commit
removes the warning in such case.
This also changes the meaning of the unassigned warning to happen when
the variable is used before being assigned, not when it has zero
assignments.
This method is registered in a special way so ClassDB doesn't naturally
know about its existence. Here it is hardcoded if any other option fail
to check if it is about the `free()` method and, if so, say it exists
and return a Callable.
This improves the performance of typed calls to engine methods when the
argument types are exact.
Using validated calls delegate more of the work the core instead of
doing argument unpacking in the VM. It also does not need different
instructions for each return type, simplifying the code.
These errors are very common when using an invalid property name
or calling on an object of the wrong type, and the previous message
was a bit cryptic for users.

Within a match statement, it is now possible to add guards in each
branch:
var a = 0
match a:
0 when false: print("does not run")
0 when true: print("but this does")
This allows more complex logic for deciding which branch to take.
Errors originating in C++ files cause unnecessary diffs whenever the engine is updated
(line number changes, etc.) and would cause CI failures due to different formatting
of the file path on Windows (backslashes, worked around here anyway) and when using
SCU builds (`../scu` insert).
Which allows editable data associated with a particular class instead of
the instance. Scripts with static variables are kept in memory
indefinitely unless the `@static_unload` annotation is used or the
`static_unload()` method is called on the GDScript.
If the custom function `_static_init()` exists it will be called when
the class is loaded, after the static variables are set.
