Florian Rival a51c223c9c Add experimental, work-in-progress visual editor for custom objects (aka "prefabs"/"templates") (#6699)
* Still to do: 
  * Properly handle effects (disable 3D effects) for layers
  * Handle hot reloading properly
  * Avoid duplicating the configuration of the custom object inside each object created from it. Instead, only store the modified values.
  * Add a "Extract as a custom object ("prefab")" when selecting instances in a scene.
  * Add a dialog to give choice between 2D or 3D object when creating one.
  * Make sure "behavior shared data" are properly handled (physics, pathfinding...)
  * Check if we need to give an expression to translate coordinates from the parent to the local custom object.
  * Ensure a deleted custom object does not break the editor

Florian Rival a0925c79c3 Add a new simplified way to use variables in expressions, and automate renaming of variables in events (#5580)
* You can now simply write the name of the scene or global variable in an expression to use it: `1 + MyVariable` (instead of `1 + Variable(MyVariable)`).
* Objects can also have their variables accessed like this: `MyObject.MyVariable` (instead of `MyObject.Variable(MyVariable)`.
* This also works for properties inside functions of behaviors or custom objects. For example, you can write `Speed` instead of `Object.Behavior::PropertySpeed()`.
* This syntax will also handle all types of variables without the need to write ToString. For example, you can now write "Score: " + CoinsEarned instead of "Score: " + ToString(Variable(CoinsEarned)).
* This syntax will only work (and autocompletions will be shown) if you add the variable in the variables editor of the scene, the project or in the variables of the object. It's a good practice to always declare your variables here and give them a default value - do it to benefit from this new simplified syntax, which will make your formulas and expressions much more readable.
* When you rename a variable in an editor, it will now rename the variables everywhere in the events of the project. This makes it much easier to change the name of a variable if you find a better one. Note that this works for "rootæ variables, but not variables inside structures or arrays.
