Due to how caches are accessed this cache is almost useless, it only
matters if it is from the same branch or a base branch, and is identical
between branches, so caching it just clutters the build cache
(cherry picked from commit 9923268d74)
The min SCons version had to be bumped as SCons 3.0 before 3.0.3 seems
broken (see #92043), and there's little gain from supporting 3.0.3-3.0.5.
3.1.2 is also the first version to avoid ambiguities between Python 2
and Python 3 usage, so we finally use it as the minimum baseline.
Also test against Python 3.6 which is also our minimum supported version.
This should help prevent regressions whenever we modernize the build scripts.
Using 2.2.7.dev217+g10c2abcf.
Had to add `colour` to the ignore list as we used it as an alias/keyword for the
documentation of color-related APIs.
Also ignore recommendations to change `thirdparty` to either `third-party` or
`third party`, which are correct but we use the former fairly consistently.
`pre-commit` can be installed with pip, and configured in the Godot repo with
`pre-commit install`. It can then easily be run both locally with
`pre-commit run`, and on CI, in a cross-platform way.
This makes it much easier for contributors to set up pre-commit hooks,
without having to manually copy files to their git folder.

Custom Visual Studio project generation logic that supports any platform that has a msvs.py
script, so Visual Studio can be used to run scons for any platform, with the right defines per target.
Invoked with `scons vsproj=yes`
To generate build configuration files for all platforms+targets+arch combinations, users should call
```
scons vsproj=yes platform=XXX target=YYY [other build flags]
```
for each combination of platform+target[+arch]. This will generate the relevant vs project files but
skip the build process, so that project files can be quickly generated without waiting for a command line
build. This lets project files be quickly generated even if there are build errors.
All possible combinations of platform+target are created in the solution file by default, but they
won't do anything until each one is set up with a scons vsproj=yes command for the respective platform
in the appropriate command line. This lets users only generate the combinations they need, and VS
won't have to parse settings for other combos.
Only platforms that opt in to vs proj generation by having a msvs.py file in the platform folder are included.
Platforms with a msvs.py file will be added to the solution, but only the current active platform+target+arch
will have a build configuration generated, because we only know what the right defines/includes/flags/etc are
on the active build target currently being processed by scons.
Platforms that don't support an editor target will have a dummy editor target that won't do anything on build,
but will have the files and configuration for the windows editor target.
To generate AND build from the command line, run
```
scons vsproj=yes vsproj_gen_only=no
```
