Godot 4.6

We are going to update to Godot 4.6 as it looks like it has no bugs that impact us (we had to skip 4.5.1 due to input mapping problems).

One significant change is that now on mouse click any GUI element does not display the focus style anymore, only if doing keyboard navigation. I think that may lead to a few slightly more confusing GUI behaviours than before so I opened an issue about checking them:

Determine if we need to do anything with the new hidden focus click for Godot

It looks like our focus grabbers default to making the focus visible, which I th…ink is fine, but now clicking an element makes the focus disappear and for example pressing space still activates the last pressed button even when not highlighted which may be slightly confusing for example when using the cheats panel (and we might want to add something like clicking the main game screen {so no node at all} to deselect all GUI focus) Info n the new focus stuff: https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/110250

Here’s my PR that I plan to merge tomorrow:
