*
* Registers an integer constant on an extension class in the ClassDB.
*
* Note about registering bitfield values (if p_is_bitfield is true): even though p_constant_value is signed, language bindings are
* advised to treat bitfields as uint64_t, since this is generally clearer and can prevent mistakes like using -1 for setting all bits.
* Language APIs should thus provide an abstraction that registers bitfields (uint64_t) separately from regular constants (int64_t).
*
* @param p_library A pointer the library received by the GDExtension's entry point function.
* @param p_class_name A pointer to a StringName with the class name.
* @param p_enum_name A pointer to a StringName with the enum name.
* @param p_constant_name A pointer to a StringName with the constant name.
* @param p_constant_value The constant value.
* @param p_is_bitfield Whether or not this is a bit field.
* @param p_is_bitfield Whether or not this constant is part of a bitfield.
