Problem

Due to Skript's nature of having one statement per line, calling functions with many arguments may lead to unreadable long lines when specifying function arguments.

Solution

Adds a new SectionExpression for calling a function while specifying one argument per line. Every line sets a specific argument and is separated by set to to indicate that parameter x has value y.

set {_transformation} to function transformation with arguments:
    x set to vector(0, 0, 0)
    y set to vector(1, 1.5, 1)
    angle set to axisAngle(45, vector(2, 2, 2)
    axis set to {_axis}

Testing Completed

Added ExprSecFunction.sk tests.

Supporting Information

This PR uses code from the function package rework PR (#8112), and thus can only be merged once that has been merged.

this should probably just be a rework of ExprResult
