SDK Update

DevMode:

• The DevMode team has mostly been focusing on the last fixes before the release of the forthcoming update.
• On the Scenery Editor side, the team is implementing the possibility to add a heightmap on a rectangle and to sculpt it. Besides that, fixes and improvements have also been achieved on the object duplication feature.
• As a background task, the DevMode team is always working on improving the overall stability of the DevMode, giving special focus to the Project Editor, the Scenery Editor, and the Aircraft Editor.
• Community feedback continues to be very helpful to identify & fix bugs and therefore making the tools better.

WebAssembly:

• We fixed the “trigger_key_event†function in the Panels API.
• We implemented JIT compilation of WASM modules for specific use cases (decreases iteration times).
