[release] 4.0 tracker

Major release, routing edition

Programmatic navigation is essential. But to achieve it we need to have breaking changes. And if we’re going to break things, we might as well go all out again. So this issue is here to track the changes for the 4.0.0 release. All patches will be merged into the 4 branch, so that should provide an accurate representation of where things are at. Feedback and testing at any stage would be very welcome!
