Blender imports will always start within `.godot/imported` folder because we first convert the .blend file to .gltf, store it in `.godot/imported` and run the import from there, so on-disk resources linked from .blend files end up with duplicate textures.
This update introduces a new import method for FBX files using ufbx. If the fbx2gltf import fails, it will use the most recently cached scene from the ufbx import. The process is sped up by introducing threads to load the ufbx portion.
Key changes include:
- Support for importing geometry helper nodes in FBX files.
- Addition of cameras and lights with updated names.
- Removal of the fbx importer manager.
- Introduction of ModelDocument3D and updates to its methods.
- Changes to FBX import options and visibility.
- Updating the documentation and handling some errors.
- Store the original non-unique node, mesh and animation names in FBX and glTF.

[ Ignore and Warn | Extract Textures (default) | Optimize Loading Embedded as Basisu ]
Enable compressed mip maps from Basis Universal for faster compressions.
Increase the quality of Basis to avoid corruption.
To keep compatibility use the first mip of the previous internal Godot format.
Because texture names may have invalid filename characters, adds String::validate_filename to sanitize filenames for import pipeline use.
Recursively adds child nodes into each skeleton. This should prevent nested skeletons and avoid bone attachments for leaf bones.
In cases where a skinned mesh has children, creates two scene nodes with the same name, which both will represent this single gltf node.
Because blend shape animations must target the mesh, adds a separate mapping for ImporterMeshInstance3D node references.
This change will break existing imported scenes with bone attachments and more than one skeleton.

As many open source projects have started doing it, we're removing the
current year from the copyright notice, so that we don't need to bump
it every year.
It seems like only the first year of publication is technically
relevant for copyright notices, and even that seems to be something
that many companies stopped listing altogether (in a version controlled
codebase, the commits are a much better source of date of publication
than a hardcoded copyright statement).
We also now list Godot Engine contributors first as we're collectively
the current maintainers of the project, and we clarify that the
"exclusive" copyright of the co-founders covers the timespan before
opensourcing (their further contributions are included as part of Godot
Engine contributors).
Also fixed "cf." Frenchism - it's meant as "refer to / see".
