1f852648ef Make games launch faster by loading resources in the background (#5572)
* Only the first scene and global objects resources (images, sounds, 3D models etc...) will be downloaded during launch of the game. This usually allows for a very fast loading time.
* Other scenes resources will continue to load in the background. It has no impact on the game performance as this is done on other threads by the browser or the engine running the game.
* Scenes are loaded in the order they are listed in the project manager.
* You can also use actions and expressions to prioritize a scene (if it's known that a level will be needed soon for example) or read the current loading progress. This allows to create lightweight scenes that can act as custom loading screens. Otherwise, the launch loading screen will be shown if a scene is still loading when launched.
* Read more about this on https://wiki.gdevelop.io/gdevelop5/all-features/resources-loading/.

a0925c79c3 Add a new simplified way to use variables in expressions, and automate renaming of variables in events (#5580)
* You can now simply write the name of the scene or global variable in an expression to use it: `1 + MyVariable` (instead of `1 + Variable(MyVariable)`).
* Objects can also have their variables accessed like this: `MyObject.MyVariable` (instead of `MyObject.Variable(MyVariable)`.
* This also works for properties inside functions of behaviors or custom objects. For example, you can write `Speed` instead of `Object.Behavior::PropertySpeed()`.
* This syntax will also handle all types of variables without the need to write ToString. For example, you can now write "Score: " + CoinsEarned instead of "Score: " + ToString(Variable(CoinsEarned)).
* This syntax will only work (and autocompletions will be shown) if you add the variable in the variables editor of the scene, the project or in the variables of the object. It's a good practice to always declare your variables here and give them a default value - do it to benefit from this new simplified syntax, which will make your formulas and expressions much more readable.
* When you rename a variable in an editor, it will now rename the variables everywhere in the events of the project. This makes it much easier to change the name of a variable if you find a better one. Note that this works for "rootæ variables, but not variables inside structures or arrays.
