This PR allows editor scripts and plugins to access
GridMapEditorPluginand adds methods for extending the editor's functionality by allowing manipulation of the selection and selected palette item.This addresses godotengine/godot-proposals#11161. It can also help with custom grid map tools that could be added later by scripts as i wrote in godotengine/godot-proposals#11206 (comment).
The video below shows how it could be used to implement a script that replaces tiles in the selection:
Godot.Gridmap.Selection.Plugin.webm
(obviously this is just an example -and probably the replace functionality should be core part of the editor- to show how the API can be used but it could also be used for making game-specific tools like assigning data -to be stored elsewhere, like in a node- to cells, or to pre-fill a gridmap with some procedural code that can be then manually edited, or to quickly set data and/or colors -especially useful for data as they can be something different than color- if #94282 is merged, etc)
