Change set_drag_forwarding() to use callables.

* This solution is much cleaner than the one in 3.x thanks to the use of callables.
* Works without issues in any language (no need to worry about camel or snake case).
* Editor code uses a compatibility function (too much work to redo).

Fixes #59899

-				Forwards the handling of this control's drag and drop to [param target] object.
-				Forwarding can be implemented in the target object similar to the methods [method _get_drag_data], [method _can_drop_data], and [method _drop_data] but with two differences:
-				1. The function name must be suffixed with [b]_fw[/b]
-				2. The function must take an extra argument that is the control doing the forwarding

+				Forwards the handling of this control's [method _get_drag_data],  [method _can_drop_data] and [method _drop_data] virtual functions to delegate callables.
+				For each argument, if not empty, the delegate callable is used, otherwise the local (virtual) function is used.
+				The function format for each callable should be exactly the same as the virtual functions described above.
