Closes: #78191
In lieu of having constexpr, this solution proposes a fallback to provide a better hint to developers about what the default value of a method is.
I've used a similar approach to generating a default as GDScriptDocGen::_docvalue_from_variant, but assuming recursion depth is always met.
This provides value to developers by now being able to know if there is an array to be expected and if it is empty or not at a glance instead of going to look at the source for a method.
It could possibly be extended a little to include a small recursion depth, but I think that this is a good first step towards QOL.
