Add an editor setting to force Vector property labels and values onto the same line

[AdeptusForge]

Describe the project you are working on

This change is a universal one, as everyone is affected by how easy/hard it is to access variables in the inspector.

Describe the problem or limitation you are having in your project

Editing Vectors often takes up unduly large amounts of screen space. At default settings, Node3D Transform takes up nearly 10% of available screen real estate just by itself. This could easily be cut down on with a simple feature to compress vectors onto the same line.

Describe the feature / enhancement and how it helps to overcome the problem or limitation

Vector Property's are split into a label bar and an under-slung section to keep all the properties with a 0.5 split ratio, by changing vector split ratio to a smaller value and combining the label bar with the rest of the property fields, it allows vector editing on the same line, making things more compressed than previously, while maintaining readability.

Describe how your proposal will work, with code, pseudo-code, mock-ups, and/or diagrams

If this enhancement will not be used often, can it be worked around with a few lines of script?

This should be used almost universally, but if it is not, it is an editor setting that can be disabled.

Is there a reason why this should be core and not an add-on in the asset library?

This change affects all Godot users equally; Godot users already have control over how much screen space various aspects of the engine take up, this just gives them more control that they should have had to begin with.

This is only viable if you make the inspector dock wide enough. Otherwise, there will be no space left to draw the property values next to the label, especially for Vector4 and Vector4i. This will rarely be the case at the default inspector width. Remember that values in the thousands are common in 2D too, so they need to be displayed in full.

I suggest this should be done dynamically based on whether there's enough space to write the label and value on the same line.

While this is true, in the majority of editing cases, it works flawlessly, and can be given more space by giving the Vector properties more Split_Ratio space, which can be added as well. At the defaults I've set for this proposal, values into the 1000's are viewable/editable, andgiving more Split_Ratio can help with that as well.

There are deeper underlying problems with the inspector UI however, as nested resources cause the same problem because of the way Godot handles its margins, and even having the label and value changes on different lines doesn't fix the problem. The fact is that it is currently always possible to accidentally create a situation where you need to adjust the inspector to edit variables, and this proposal helps to mitigate the need to scroll rather than the need to resize.
