Use Kotlin Poet to generate api classes [Moved from old repo]

Describe the problem or limitation you are having in your project:
Currently, godot's api kotlin code is generated using error prone StringBuilder.
It would be easier to maintain if we use a generation code api.
Describe how this feature / enhancement will help you overcome this problem or limitation:
Kotlin Poet is an api that provide easy to use code generation tools.
It is well maintained and our code would be much cleaner and easy to maintain.
Show a mock up screenshots/video or a flow diagram explaining how your proposal will work:
None to provide.
Describe implementation detail for your proposal (in code), if possible:
Replace string builders in generation methods of POJO in api-classes-generator
If this enhancement will not be used often, can it be worked around with a few lines of code?:
Not appropriate.
Is there a reason why this should be in this project and not individually solved?:
It concerns stability of the project.

@chippmann yes, I do that right after reworking code.

@chippmann Finally, I don't think it is a good idea to add the new config.json in the same branch, as we'll have probably to modify godot.def in godot-library according to gdnative_api_struct.gen.h from godot_headers.
Maybe a new feature could be to create a generator to keep time as it is bindings to godot_gdnative_core_api_struct.

Agreed 👍
