GD-96: use of EditorPlugin.new() results in script error since beta16

[MikeSchulze]

The used Godot version:
v4.0.beta16.official [518b9e580]

OS including version:
ALL

Describe the bug
We use on some places EditorPlugin.new() to access the editor interface.
But this is broken since beta15/beta16
There is no static accessor of the EditorInterface and needs the plugin instance to access.

Steps to Reproduce

@tool
extends Control

func _ready():
	var plugin := EditorPlugin.new()

results in
Parser Error: Native class "EditorPlugin" cannot be constructed as it is abstract.

Godot Issue

What do you want to tell me? Is there a current problem with GdUnit4?

[JustMog]

yes bug.zip

[MikeSchulze]

Your code has nothing to do with the GdUnit4 plugin.
If you want to write your own plugin, you have to follow the official documentation.
