and update README-visualc.md and README-gdk.md accordingly
Also moved src/main/windows/version.rc to src/core/windows/
and adjusted VS solutions, CMakeLists.txt and versioning scripts
in build-scripts/ accordingly.
This will eventually allow us to remove all of src/main/

If a program built against one version of SDL is run in an
environment where there is an earlier version of the SDL .so library
installed, the result varies depending on platform configuration; in
the best case, it won't start at all, at worst it aborts in the
middle of the user doing "something important" (systems implementing
lazy symbol resolution). verdefs on the other hand are always checked
on startup.
The dependency information present in programs and shared libraries
is not only of value to the dynamic linker, but also to a
distribution's package management. If the dynamic linker is able to
tell that a program is not runnable per the above, a package manager
is able to come to the same conclusion — and block the installation
of a nonfunctional program+library ensemble.
Because there are a lot more symbols than there are libraries (I am
going to throw in "10^4 to 1 or worse"), package managers generally
do not evaluate symbols, but only e.g. the SONAME, NEEDED and VERNEED
fields/blocks. Because the SONAME is the same between two SDL
versions like 2.0.24, and 2.0.26, everything rests on having verdefs.
This patch proposes the addition of verdefs.
In SDL3 we plan to make more use of shaders in the 2D render API, and this minimizes the number of platforms we have to consider for new features. OpenGL ES 2.0 or newer is supported on all modern iOS and Android devices.
We just build libSDL3.dylib instead of libSDL3.0.0.0.dylib with symlinks
Fixed the compatiblity vs current version, e.g.
SDL 3.20.87
@rpath/libSDL3.0.dylib (compatibility version 2001.0.0, current version 2001.87.0)
SDL 3.21.5
@rpath/libSDL3.dylib (compatibility version 2106.0.0, current version 2106.0.0)
I ran this script in the include directory:
```sh
sed -i '' -e 's,#include "\(SDL.*\)",#include <SDL3/\1>,' *.h
```
I ran this script in the src directory:
```sh
for i in ../include/SDL3/SDL*.h
do hdr=$(basename $i)
if [ x"$(echo $hdr | egrep 'SDL_main|SDL_name|SDL_test|SDL_syswm|SDL_opengl|SDL_egl|SDL_vulkan')" != x ]; then
find . -type f -exec sed -i '' -e 's,#include "\('$hdr'\)",#include <SDL3/\1>,' {} \;
else
find . -type f -exec sed -i '' -e '/#include "'$hdr'"/d' {} \;
fi
done
```
Fixes https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/issues/6575
We want the library to come out as libSDL3.so.0 on Unix, or something
similar on other platforms. There's no need to have libSDL3-3.0.so.0,
because next time we intentionally break the API it should become libSDL4
anyway.
Partially implements #5626.
