Why a `[native_extensions]` field in the `test/project/project.godot` ?

Issue description

The project.godot in the tests contains a [native_extensions] entry:

godot-cpp/test/project/project.godot

Lines 18 to 20 in 5910c0e

	[native_extensions]
	paths=["res://example.gdextension"]

However, as far as I know, this entry has no use:

• searching for native_extensions in Godot and Godot-CPP source code doesn't return anything
• no other projects that I know of use this entry
• obviously not providing this entry doesn't prevent the extension from being loaded and used by Godot ;-)

So I think this entry should be removed, as it is misleading (especially since it is totally undocumented and Godot-CPP is most likely regarded as providing "the right way"® of doing thing regarding GDExtension usage)

I agree with your assessment that [native_extensions] isn't needed. I don't know why it's there - it's probably left over from some historical change, although, I'm not personally aware of that history.

A PR to remove it would be welcome! :-)
