EditorSettings: `dotnet/` settings are missing

[ScatteredComet]

Your Godot version: 4.6

Issue description:

Editor settings which begin dotnet/ are missing from EditorSettings.xml. This includes:

• dotnet/editor/external_editor
• dotnet/editor/custom_exec_path
• dotnet/editor/custom_exec_path_args
• dotnet/build/verbosity_level
• dotnet/build/no_console_logging
• dotnet/build/create_binary_log
• dotnet/build/problems_layout

The class reference is likely synced from a non-C# build of the editor, which is why these settings are missing.

These settings are only referenced in C# code:

https://github.com/godotengine/godot/blob/e295eba0eb4767fd45ea8534765307d8e9b1c328/modules/mono/editor/GodotTools/GodotTools/GodotSharpEditor.cs#L28-L37

I suppose we could define fake defaults outside this C# code to ensure the settings are always registered, even in non-C# builds.

Relation to ProjectSettings

I believe Calinou's method is also how ProjectSettings is currently dealing with it:

https://github.com/godotengine/godot/blob/e295eba0eb4767fd45ea8534765307d8e9b1c328/main/main.cpp#L4154-L4161

#ifndef MODULE_MONO_ENABLED
		// Hack to define .NET-specific project settings even on non-.NET builds,
		// so that we don't lose their descriptions and default values in DocTools.
		// Default values should be synced with mono_gd/gd_mono.cpp.
		GLOBAL_DEF("dotnet/project/assembly_name", "");
		GLOBAL_DEF("dotnet/project/solution_directory", "");
		GLOBAL_DEF(PropertyInfo(Variant::INT, "dotnet/project/assembly_reload_attempts", PROPERTY_HINT_RANGE, "1,16,1,or_greater"), 3);
#endif

https://github.com/godotengine/godot/blob/e295eba0eb4767fd45ea8534765307d8e9b1c328/modules/mono/csharp_script.cpp#L118-L122

GLOBAL_DEF("dotnet/project/assembly_name", "");
#ifdef TOOLS_ENABLED
	GLOBAL_DEF("dotnet/project/solution_directory", "");
	GLOBAL_DEF(PropertyInfo(Variant::INT, "dotnet/project/assembly_reload_attempts", PROPERTY_HINT_RANGE, "1,16,1,or_greater"), 3);
#endif

However its behaviour is a little weird atm: in non C# builds only the assembly name appears. Maybe this is because of the #ifdef TOOLS_ENABLED in the second quote?

Broken Enumerations

Also if you open a C# project with a non-C# godot version the EditorSettings exist but have their enumeration descriptions removed:

Summary

In summary, in non-C# builds:

• ProjectSettings removes 2/3 dotnet/ settings from showing up
• EditorSettings includes all dotnet/ settings

So it feels they are following 2 different conventions? If it's feasible, I would vote for keeping all dotnet/ settings in both ProjectSettings and EditorSettings.

• This would be fixed by Fix .NET editor settings showing as numbers in Project Manager godot#115804 since it moves the settings outside the mono module.
