Adopt consistent FooSystems naming convention for system sets (#18900)
# Objective

Fixes a part of #14274.

Bevy has an incredibly inconsistent naming convention for its system
sets, both internally and across the ecosystem.

<img alt="System sets in Bevy"

*Names of public system set types in Bevy*

Most Bevy types use a naming of `FooSystem` or just `Foo`, but there are
also a few `FooSystems` and `FooSet` types. In ecosystem crates on the
other hand, `FooSet` is perhaps the most commonly used name in general.
Conventions being so wildly inconsistent can make it harder for users to
pick names for their own types, to search for system sets on docs.rs, or
to even discern which types *are* system sets.

To reign in the inconsistency a bit and help unify the ecosystem, it
would be good to establish a common recommended naming convention for
system sets in Bevy itself, similar to how plugins are commonly suffixed
with `Plugin` (ex: `TimePlugin`). By adopting a consistent naming
convention in first-party Bevy, we can softly nudge ecosystem crates to
follow suit (for types where it makes sense to do so).

Choosing a naming convention is also relevant now, as the [`bevy_cli`
recently adopted
lints](https://github.com/TheBevyFlock/bevy_cli/pull/345) to enforce
naming for plugins and system sets, and the recommended naming used for
system sets is still a bit open.

## Which Name To Use?

Now the contentious part: what naming convention should we actually
adopt?

This was discussed on the Bevy Discord at the end of last year, starting
[here](<https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/692572690833473578/1310659954683936789>).
`FooSet` and `FooSystems` were the clear favorites, with `FooSet` very
narrowly winning an unofficial poll. However, it seems to me like the
consensus was broadly moving towards `FooSystems` at the end and after
the poll, with Cart
([source](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/692572690833473578/1311140204974706708))
and later Alice
([source](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/692572690833473578/1311092530732859533))
and also me being in favor of it.

Let's do a quick pros and cons list! Of course these are just what I
thought of, so take it with a grain of salt.

`FooSet`:

- Pro: Nice and short!
- Pro: Used by many ecosystem crates.
- Pro: The `Set` suffix comes directly from the trait name `SystemSet`.
- Pro: Pairs nicely with existing APIs like `in_set` and
`configure_sets`.
- Con: `Set` by itself doesn't actually indicate that it's related to
systems *at all*, apart from the implemented trait. A set of what?
- Con: Is `FooSet` a set of `Foo`s or a system set related to `Foo`? Ex:
`ContactSet`, `MeshSet`, `EnemySet`...

`FooSystems`:

- Pro: Very clearly indicates that the type represents a collection of
systems. The actual core concept, system(s), is in the name.
- Pro: Parallels nicely with `FooPlugins` for plugin groups.
- Pro: Low risk of conflicts with other names or misunderstandings about
what the type is.
- Pro: In most cases, reads *very* nicely and clearly. Ex:
`PhysicsSystems` and `AnimationSystems` as opposed to `PhysicsSet` and
`AnimationSet`.
- Pro: Easy to search for on docs.rs.
- Con: Usually results in longer names.
- Con: Not yet as widely used.

Really the big problem with `FooSet` is that it doesn't actually
describe what it is. It describes what *kind of thing* it is (a set of
something), but not *what it is a set of*, unless you know the type or
check its docs or implemented traits. `FooSystems` on the other hand is
much more self-descriptive in this regard, at the cost of being a bit
longer to type.

Ultimately, in some ways it comes down to preference and how you think
of system sets. Personally, I was originally in favor of `FooSet`, but
have been increasingly on the side of `FooSystems`, especially after
seeing what the new names would actually look like in Avian and now
Bevy. I prefer it because it usually reads better, is much more clearly
related to groups of systems than `FooSet`, and overall *feels* more
correct and natural to me in the long term.

For these reasons, and because Alice and Cart also seemed to share a
preference for it when it was previously being discussed, I propose that
we adopt a `FooSystems` naming convention where applicable.

## Solution

Rename Bevy's system set types to use a consistent `FooSet` naming where
applicable.

- `AccessibilitySystem` → `AccessibilitySystems`
- `GizmoRenderSystem` → `GizmoRenderSystems`
- `PickSet` → `PickingSystems`
- `RunFixedMainLoopSystem` → `RunFixedMainLoopSystems`
- `TransformSystem` → `TransformSystems`
- `RemoteSet` → `RemoteSystems`
- `RenderSet` → `RenderSystems`
- `SpriteSystem` → `SpriteSystems`
- `StateTransitionSteps` → `StateTransitionSystems`
- `RenderUiSystem` → `RenderUiSystems`
- `UiSystem` → `UiSystems`
- `Animation` → `AnimationSystems`
- `AssetEvents` → `AssetEventSystems`
- `TrackAssets` → `AssetTrackingSystems`
- `UpdateGizmoMeshes` → `GizmoMeshSystems`
- `InputSystem` → `InputSystems`
- `InputFocusSet` → `InputFocusSystems`
- `ExtractMaterialsSet` → `MaterialExtractionSystems`
- `ExtractMeshesSet` → `MeshExtractionSystems`
- `RumbleSystem` → `RumbleSystems`
- `CameraUpdateSystem` → `CameraUpdateSystems`
- `ExtractAssetsSet` → `AssetExtractionSystems`
- `Update2dText` → `Text2dUpdateSystems`
- `TimeSystem` → `TimeSystems`
- `AudioPlaySet` → `AudioPlaybackSystems`
- `SendEvents` → `EventSenderSystems`
- `EventUpdates` → `EventUpdateSystems`

A lot of the names got slightly longer, but they are also a lot more
consistent, and in my opinion the majority of them read much better. For
a few of the names I took the liberty of rewording things a bit;
definitely open to any further naming improvements.

There are still also cases where the `FooSystems` naming doesn't really
make sense, and those I left alone. This primarily includes system sets
like `Interned<dyn SystemSet>`, `EnterSchedules<S>`, `ExitSchedules<S>`,
or `TransitionSchedules<S>`, where the type has some special purpose and
semantics.

## Todo

- [x] Should I keep all the old names as deprecated type aliases? I can
do this, but to avoid wasting work I'd prefer to first reach consensus
on whether these renames are even desired.
- [x] Migration guide
- [x] Release notes

bevy_reflect: Add clone registrations project-wide (#18307)
# Objective

Now that #13432 has been merged, it's important we update our reflected
types to properly opt into this feature. If we do not, then this could
cause issues for users downstream who want to make use of
reflection-based cloning.

## Solution

This PR is broken into 4 commits:

1. Add `#[reflect(Clone)]` on all types marked `#[reflect(opaque)]` that
are also `Clone`. This is mandatory as these types would otherwise cause
the cloning operation to fail for any type that contains it at any
depth.
2. Update the reflection example to suggest adding `#[reflect(Clone)]`
on opaque types.
3. Add `#[reflect(clone)]` attributes on all fields marked
`#[reflect(ignore)]` that are also `Clone`. This prevents the ignored
field from causing the cloning operation to fail.
   
Note that some of the types that contain these fields are also `Clone`,
and thus can be marked `#[reflect(Clone)]`. This makes the
`#[reflect(clone)]` attribute redundant. However, I think it's safer to
keep it marked in the case that the `Clone` impl/derive is ever removed.
I'm open to removing them, though, if people disagree.
4. Finally, I added `#[reflect(Clone)]` on all types that are also
`Clone`. While not strictly necessary, it enables us to reduce the
generated output since we can just call `Clone::clone` directly instead
of calling `PartialReflect::reflect_clone` on each variant/field. It
also means we benefit from any optimizations or customizations made in
the `Clone` impl, including directly dereferencing `Copy` values and
increasing reference counters.

Along with that change I also took the liberty of adding any missing
registrations that I saw could be applied to the type as well, such as
`Default`, `PartialEq`, and `Hash`. There were hundreds of these to
edit, though, so it's possible I missed quite a few.

That last commit is **_massive_**. There were nearly 700 types to
update. So it's recommended to review the first three before moving onto
that last one.

Additionally, I can break the last commit off into its own PR or into
smaller PRs, but I figured this would be the easiest way of doing it
(and in a timely manner since I unfortunately don't have as much time as
I used to for code contributions).

## Testing

You can test locally with a `cargo check`:

cargo check --workspace --all-features

Remove everything except Instant from bevy_utils::time (#17158)
# Objective

- Contributes to #11478
- Contributes to #16877

## Solution

- Removed everything except `Instant` from `bevy_utils::time`

## Testing

- CI

---

## Migration Guide

If you relied on any of the following from `bevy_utils::time`:

- `Duration`
- `TryFromFloatSecsError`

Import these directly from `core::time` regardless of platform target
(WASM, mobile, etc.)

If you relied on any of the following from `bevy_utils::time`:

- `SystemTime`
- `SystemTimeError`

Instead import these directly from either `std::time` or `web_time` as
appropriate for your target platform.

## Notes

`Duration` and `TryFromFloatSecsError` are both re-exports from
`core::time` regardless of whether they are used from `web_time` or
`std::time`, so there is no value gained from re-exporting them from
`bevy_utils::time` as well. As for `SystemTime` and `SystemTimeError`,
no Bevy internal crates or examples rely on these types. Since Bevy
doesn't have a `Time<Wall>` resource for interacting with wall-time (and
likely shouldn't need one), I think removing these from `bevy_utils`
entirely and waiting for a use-case to justify inclusion is a reasonable
path forward.

Allow ordering variable timesteps around fixed timesteps (#14881)
# Objective

- Fixes #14873, see that issue for a whole lot of context

## Solution

- Add a blessed system set for this stuff. See [this Discord
discussion](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/749335865876021248/1276262931327094908).

Note that the gizmo systems,
[LWIM](https://github.com/Leafwing-Studios/leafwing-input-manager/pull/522/files#diff-9b59ee4899ad0a5d008889ea89a124a7291316532e42f9f3d6ae842b906fb095R154)
and now a new plugin I'm working on are all already ordering against
`run_fixed_main_schedule`, so having a dedicated system set should be
more robust and hopefully also more discoverable.

---

## ~~Showcase~~

~~I can add a little video of a smooth camera later if this gets merged
:)~~
Apparently a release note is not needed, so I'll leave it out. See the
changes in the fixed timestep example for usage showcase and the video
in #14873 for a more or less accurate video of the effect (it does not
use the same solution though, so it is not quite the same)

## Migration Guide


[run_fixed_main_schedule](https://docs.rs/bevy/latest/bevy/time/fn.run_fixed_main_schedule.html)
is no longer public. If you used to order against it, use the new
dedicated `RunFixedMainLoopSystem` system set instead. You can replace
your usage of `run_fixed_main_schedule` one for one by
`RunFixedMainLoopSystem::FixedMainLoop`, but it is now more idiomatic to
place your systems in either
`RunFixedMainLoopSystem::BeforeFixedMainLoop` or
`RunFixedMainLoopSystem::AfterFixedMainLoop`

Old:
```rust
app.add_systems(
    RunFixedMainLoop,
    some_system.before(run_fixed_main_schedule)
);
```

New:
```rust
app.add_systems(
    RunFixedMainLoop,
    some_system.in_set(RunFixedMainLoopSystem::BeforeFixedMainLoop)
);
```

Add First/Pre/Post/Last schedules to the Fixed timestep (#10977)
Fixes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/10974

# Objective
Duplicate the ordering logic of the `Main` schedule into the `FixedMain`
schedule.

---

## Changelog
- `FixedUpdate` is no longer the main schedule ran in
`RunFixedUpdateLoop`, `FixedMain` has replaced this and has a similar
structure to `Main`.

## Migration Guide
- Usage of `RunFixedUpdateLoop` should be renamed to `RunFixedMainLoop`.

Add discard_overstep function to Time<Fixed> (#10453)
# Objective

There is no easy way to discard some amount for `Time<Fixed>`'s
overstep. This can be useful for online games when the client receives
information about a tick (which happens when you get a FPS drop or the
ping changes for example) it has not yet processed, it can discard
overstep equal to the number of ticks it can jump ahead.

Currently the workaround would be to create a new `Time<Fixed>` copy the
old timestep, advance it by the overstep amount that would remain after
subtracting the discarded amount, and using `.context_mut()` to
overwrite the old context with the new one. If you overwrite the whole
`Time<Fixed>` or forget to copy over the timestep you can introduce
undesirable side effects.

## Solution

Introduce a `discard_overstep` method, which discards the provided
amount of overstep. It uses satuarting_sub to avoid errors (negative
`Duration`s do not exist).

---

## Changelog

- Added `discard_overstep` function to `Time<Fixed>`

Rename Time::<Fixed>::overstep_percentage() and Time::<Fixed>::overstep_percentage_f64() (#10448)
# Objective
This is similar to #10439.

`Time::<Fixed>::overstep_percentage()` and
`Time::<Fixed>::overstep_percentage_f64()` returns values from 0.0 to
1.0, but their names use the word "percentage". These function names
make it easy to misunderstand that they return values from 0.0 to 100.0.

To avoid confusion, these functions should be renamed to
"`overstep_fraction(_f64)`".

## Solution
Rename them.

---

## Changelog

### Changed
- Renamed `Time::<Fixed>::overstep_percentage()` to
`Time::<Fixed>::overstep_fraction()`
- Renamed `Time::<Fixed>::overstep_percentage_f64()` to
`Time::<Fixed>::overstep_fraction_f64()`

## Migration Guide
- `Time::<Fixed>::overstep_percentage()` has been renamed to
`Time::<Fixed>::overstep_fraction()`
- `Time::<Fixed>::overstep_percentage_f64()` has been renamed to
`Time::<Fixed>::overstep_fraction_f64()`

Unify FixedTime and Time while fixing several problems (#8964)
# Objective

Current `FixedTime` and `Time` have several problems. This pull aims to
fix many of them at once.

- If there is a longer pause between app updates, time will jump forward
a lot at once and fixed time will iterate on `FixedUpdate` for a large
number of steps. If the pause is merely seconds, then this will just
mean jerkiness and possible unexpected behaviour in gameplay. If the
pause is hours/days as with OS suspend, the game will appear to freeze
until it has caught up with real time.
- If calculating a fixed step takes longer than specified fixed step
period, the game will enter a death spiral where rendering each frame
takes longer and longer due to more and more fixed step updates being
run per frame and the game appears to freeze.
- There is no way to see current fixed step elapsed time inside fixed
steps. In order to track this, the game designer needs to add a custom
system inside `FixedUpdate` that calculates elapsed or step count in a
resource.
- Access to delta time inside fixed step is `FixedStep::period` rather
than `Time::delta`. This, coupled with the issue that `Time::elapsed`
isn't available at all for fixed steps, makes it that time requiring
systems are either implemented to be run in `FixedUpdate` or `Update`,
but rarely work in both.
- Fixes #8800 
- Fixes #8543 
- Fixes #7439
- Fixes #5692

## Solution

- Create a generic `Time<T>` clock that has no processing logic but
which can be instantiated for multiple usages. This is also exposed for
users to add custom clocks.
- Create three standard clocks, `Time<Real>`, `Time<Virtual>` and
`Time<Fixed>`, all of which contain their individual logic.
- Create one "default" clock, which is just `Time` (or `Time<()>`),
which will be overwritten from `Time<Virtual>` on each update, and
`Time<Fixed>` inside `FixedUpdate` schedule. This way systems that do
not care specifically which time they track can work both in `Update`
and `FixedUpdate` without changes and the behaviour is intuitive.
- Add `max_delta` to virtual time update, which limits how much can be
added to virtual time by a single update. This fixes both the behaviour
after a long freeze, and also the death spiral by limiting how many
fixed timestep iterations there can be per update. Possible future work
could be adding `max_accumulator` to add a sort of "leaky bucket" time
processing to possibly smooth out jumps in time while keeping frame rate
stable.
- Many minor tweaks and clarifications to the time functions and their
documentation.

## Changelog

- `Time::raw_delta()`, `Time::raw_elapsed()` and related methods are
moved to `Time<Real>::delta()` and `Time<Real>::elapsed()` and now match
`Time` API
- `FixedTime` is now `Time<Fixed>` and matches `Time` API. 
- `Time<Fixed>` default timestep is now 64 Hz, or 15625 microseconds.
- `Time` inside `FixedUpdate` now reflects fixed timestep time, making
systems portable between `Update ` and `FixedUpdate`.
- `Time::pause()`, `Time::set_relative_speed()` and related methods must
now be called as `Time<Virtual>::pause()` etc.
- There is a new `max_delta` setting in `Time<Virtual>` that limits how
much the clock can jump by a single update. The default value is 0.25
seconds.
- Removed `on_fixed_timer()` condition as `on_timer()` does the right
thing inside `FixedUpdate` now.

## Migration Guide

- Change all `Res<Time>` instances that access `raw_delta()`,
`raw_elapsed()` and related methods to `Res<Time<Real>>` and `delta()`,
`elapsed()`, etc.
- Change access to `period` from `Res<FixedTime>` to `Res<Time<Fixed>>`
and use `delta()`.
- The default timestep has been changed from 60 Hz to 64 Hz. If you wish
to restore the old behaviour, use
`app.insert_resource(Time::<Fixed>::from_hz(60.0))`.
- Change `app.insert_resource(FixedTime::new(duration))` to
`app.insert_resource(Time::<Fixed>::from_duration(duration))`
- Change `app.insert_resource(FixedTime::new_from_secs(secs))` to
`app.insert_resource(Time::<Fixed>::from_seconds(secs))`
- Change `system.on_fixed_timer(duration)` to
`system.on_timer(duration)`. Timers in systems placed in `FixedUpdate`
schedule automatically use the fixed time clock.
- Change `ResMut<Time>` calls to `pause()`, `is_paused()`,
`set_relative_speed()` and related methods to `ResMut<Time<Virtual>>`
calls. The API is the same, with the exception that `relative_speed()`
will return the actual last ste relative speed, while
`effective_relative_speed()` returns 0.0 if the time is paused and
corresponds to the speed that was set when the update for the current
frame started.
