Remove VisualScript module for 4.0

Browse source 
As announced in https://godotengine.org/article/godot-4-will-discontinue-visual-scripting,
Godot maintainers have agreed to discontinue the current implementation of
our VisualScript language.

The way it had been designed was not user-friendly enough and we did not
succeed in improving its usability to actually make it a good low-code
solution for users who need one.

So we prefer to remove it for Godot 4.0 and leave the door open for new,
innovative ideas around visual scripting, to be developed as plugins or
extensions now that Godot provides sufficient functionality for this
(notably via GDExtension and the godot-cpp C++ bindings).

The current module has been moved to a dedicated repository (with full Git
history extracted with `git filter-branch`):

https://github.com/godotengine/godot-visual-script

It can still be compiled as a C++ module (for now, but will likely require
work to be kept in sync with the engine repository), but our hope is that
contributors will port it to GDExtension (which is quite compatibile with
the existing C++ module code when using the godot-cpp C++ bindings).

<description>
Every class which is not a built-in type inherits from this class.
You can construct Objects from scripting languages, using [code]Object.new()[/code] in GDScript, [code]new Object[/code] in C#, or the "Construct Object" node in VisualScript.
You can construct Objects from scripting languages, using [code]Object.new()[/code] in GDScript, or [code]new Object[/code] in C#.
Objects do not manage memory. If a class inherits from Object, you will have to delete instances of it manually. To do so, call the [method free] method from your script or delete the instance from C++.
Some classes that extend Object add memory management. This is the case of [RefCounted], which counts references and deletes itself automatically when no longer referenced. [Node], another fundamental type, deletes all its children when freed from memory.
Objects export properties, which are mainly useful for storage and editing, but not really so much in programming. Properties are exported in [method _get_property_list] and handled in [method _get] and [method _set]. However, scripting languages and C++ have simpler means to export them.
