<description>
This class provides access to a number of different monitors related to performance, such as memory usage, draw calls, and FPS. These are the same as the values displayed in the [b]Monitor[/b] tab in the editor's [b]Debugger[/b] panel. By using the [method get_monitor] method of this class, you can access this data from your code.
+ You can add custom monitors using the [method add_custom_monitor] method. Custom monitors are available in [b]Monitor[/b] tab in the editor's [b]Debugger[/b] panel together with built-in monitors.
[b]Note:[/b] A few of these monitors are only available in debug mode and will always return 0 when used in a release build.
[b]Note:[/b] Many of these monitors are not updated in real-time, so there may be a short delay between changes.
+ [b]Note:[/b] Custom monitors do not support negative values. Negative values are clamped to 0.

+ Adds a custom monitor with name same as id. You can specify the category of monitor using '/' in id. If there are more than one '/' then default category is used. Default category is "Custom".
+ [codeblock]
+ Performance.add_custom_monitor("MyCategory/MyMonitor", some_callable) # Adds monitor with name "MyName" to category "MyCategory"
+ Performance.add_custom_monitor("MyMonitor", some_callable) # Adds monitor with name "MyName" to category "Custom"
+ # Note: "MyCategory/MyMonitor" and "MyMonitor" have same name but different ids so above code is valid
+ Performance.add_custom_monitor("Custom/MyMonitor", some_callable) # Adds monitor with name "MyName" to category "Custom"
+ # Note: "MyMonitor" and "Custom/MyMonitor" have same name and same category but different ids so above code is valid
+ Performance.add_custom_monitor("MyCategoryOne/MyCategoryTwo/MyMonitor", some_callable) # Adds monitor with name "MyCategoryOne/MyCategoryTwo/MyMonitor" to category "Custom"
+ [/codeblock]
+ The debugger calls the callable to get the value of custom monitor. The callable must return a number.
+ Callables are called with arguments supplied in argument array.
+ [b]Note:[/b] It throws an error if given id is already present.
