#### Godot 3.x

- `Object::call()` prevent debug lock accessing dangling pointer
Self deleting an object within a call was leading to crashes due to referencing freed memory, due to a raw pointer stored in the debug lock.
- Fix parsing of `4.` in Expression
- Backported: Doctool: Remove version attribute from XML header. We don't use that info for anything,
and it generates unnecessary diffs every time we bump the minor version (and CI failures if we forget
to sync some files from opt-in modules (mono, text_server_fb).
- Safe `Camera::unproject_position()`
`unproject_position()` can fail in some circumstances, and this needs to be conveyed to calling code.
- PopupMenu: Update margins on visibility change Fixes #96149.
- Verify GLTF indices to prevent crash with corrupt files
Also verify prior to vertex optimization.
- GLTF: Fixed external images getting embedded on import
Added a map to keep track of external images during import, and used
that map to instance the textures using the resource loader instead of
creating a new texture from scratch
