WDebugger: A Git-friendly Debugger

Most (if not all) of the debugging plugins have two major flaws that I always disliked:

1. They are not git-friendly. You can't ignore the debugging functions, therefore they're committed to the git history. This causes:
   • Bloat in your git history
   • Unwanted changes to files when you just want to change a debugging function
   • Conflicts when working in a team - which is probably the most important issue
2. They take too much space on the game, which interfers with the testing; Whether be a debugging console that pops up, or just normal GUI buttons you have defined.

To Address and fix these issues, I made this plugin. It solves the first issue by separating the debugging functions in a specific file (which you can put in .gitignore afterwards); And solves the second problem by introducing a Window node that is separate from the main window.

Minimum Godot version needed: 4.0

If you liked the addon, please give it a star. Thanks!

3. Enable the plugin and enjoy!
