Issue description

When setting global_position or global_rotation variables after creating a Node3D in code then using add_child to append it to the current node. Only the last one is set and the others are ignored.

Steps to reproduce

Create Node3D variable in code
var node3d = Node3D.new()

Set Positions before add_child

node3d.global_position.x = 64 
node3d.global_position.z = 64

then add_child to Node
add_child(node3d)

Only the global position Z is set.

To me this looks to be expected. Until you add a node to the tree, it cannot have a global position, rotation, etc., since we don't yet know which branch the node will be added to. Perhaps we need to clarify this point in the docs and/or add a warning.
