## Fix: Error in Node Wrangler UI when in Sequencer mode
Node Wrangler tried to find the current scene compositing node tree,
even when there was none. This could happen if working on a sequencer
compositing modifier.
This commit hides the Save This Image button when not in Scene
compositing mode.
## Fix: Error in Node Wrangler's Save Image op when file path is empty
If the file path is empty in Save Image operator, it returns `None`
and errors out.
This commit makes it return `{'CANCELLED'}` early in that case.
## Add webp to list of file formats for Save Viewer
## Fix: Error when Viewer Node image renamed and saved
The "Viewer Node" image that contains the current compositing node
tree's viewer data has a hardcoded name by default. However it can be
renamed by the user, which will make the Save Viewer operator fail.
This commit extracts a utility function to get the current viewer
image based on its properties, and simply saves that.
In addition, this avoids having to change the area type to an image
editor to get the current viewer node, and restoring the node editor
afterwards. This action did not restore the current node tree if the
editor was inside a node group.
## Rename "Save This Image" to "Save Viewer Image"
When calling the operator through Menu Search, it is not clear what
"Save This Image" refers to. This commit renames the operator to "Save
Viewer Image", but keeps the old name for the button label.

In very old OpenEXR version there was a limit on the channel names, which meant
the pass names needed to be short like "DiffDir". Change them to be longer like
"Diffuse Direct".
* This breaks forward compatibility. Old Blender version will lose links when
reading compositing node setups with such passes, but #146571 will fix it
for 4.5 LTS.
* Add-ons, scripts and compositing setups in other applications that rely on these
names will also break.
* The find_by_type function for render passes has also been removed, as this was
already deprecated and replaced by find_by_name.
* We assume spaces in the name are ok, since we have passes with them already
and have not seen reports about compatibility issues.

When using `Lazy Connect`, the operator currently also considers sockets that are hidden.
This causes unintentional socket connections and requires to use the operator with the
menus for manually picking sockets which is slower and defeats the purpose.
Videos in PR.
This PR fixes that by not considering the hidden sockets.

This is replaced by geometry nodes, where volumes can now be generated from
point clouds and meshes with more control, and more efficient rendering as a
sparse volume.
No backwareds compatibility is provided, as this would be complicated, and
probably this feature was not used much in the past few years.
This node was supported in Cycles only, not by EEVEE.

- Operator descriptions use tip_() since they will be displayed in
tooltips.
- Extension messages:
- Split "(Add-on|Theme) \"{:s}\" already installed!" into two
messages.
- Use rpt_() to translate error messages.
- Restore core add-on name and description translation.
- Use DATA_ to translate paint material slot name, so that translation
happens only if the user enabled it for user-created data.
- Node Wrangler contains functions used to build operators' poll
methods. This change allows them to be properly translated by using
str.format() instead of f-strings, and explicit extraction with
tip_().

Many operator buttons in Node Wrangler used custom texts defined
elsewhere, but the translation context in this case is "Operator". It
should be using "Default" instead.
Attribute nodes in the shader editor should never be translated
because their name is user data.
Some button labels were switched to title case.
"Dodge" and "Burn" were renamed to "Color Dodge" and "Color Burn"
respectively, to match the item name from the actual node.
The "Frame Selected" operator now uses Node translation context, to
distinguish from the other operator of the same name which means
"Place selected in view".

Making node wrangler a core add-ons means that it will ship with Blender, but it still has to be enabled explicitly. It won't be available on the extensions platform anymore.
We'll still continue to move parts of its functionality out of the add-on into default Blender. However, that takes a little bit longer, because we need to go over the design and code quality in more detail first. Once, the most important functionality (#121749) is merged, the remaining node wrangler features can be put on the extensions platform.
