Rémi Verschelde 39facb35a0 SCons: Unify tools/target build type configuration
Implements https://github.com/godotengine/godot-proposals/issues/3371.

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.

Rémi Verschelde cd4e46ee65 SCons: Format buildsystem files with psf/black
Configured for a max line length of 120 characters.

psf/black is very opinionated and purposely doesn't leave much room for
configuration. The output is mostly OK so that should be fine for us,
but some things worth noting:

- Manually wrapped strings will be reflowed, so by using a line length
  of 120 for the sake of preserving readability for our long command
  calls, it also means that some manually wrapped strings are back on
  the same line and should be manually merged again.

- Code generators using string concatenation extensively look awful,
  since black puts each operand on a single line. We need to refactor
  these generators to use more pythonic string formatting, for which
  many options are available (`%`, `format` or f-strings).

- CI checks and a pre-commit hook will be added to ensure that future
  buildsystem changes are well-formatted.
