- Wrap the closing parenthesis onto it's own line
which makes assignments to the return value
read better.

Improve
- Split "(Enabled|Disabled) on startup, overriding the preference."
into two messages.
Disambiguate
- "Add" when describing the action of adding something should use the
Operator context.
- "Dimensions", in noise textures.
- "Transform" as a noun, the matrix transform type of Geometry Nodes,
as opposed to the verb to move things in space.
- "Parent" as a noun or verb (the parent of an object, to parent an
object to another).

This PR changes the temporary viewers created in node groups by Connect to Output in two ways:
- Rename it, as it is currently called "tmp_viewer", which stands out
as strange and code-like. It is renamed to "(Viewer)", which can be
translated.
- Use the actual connected socket type.
Currently the viewer uses hardcoded socket types (Geometry for Geometry
Nodes, Shader for shader nodes). While in GN we can only connect
geometry to the output, in shader nodes other types can be inspected.
This change allows the tmp_viewer to use the type of the actual socket
being inspected, to have a better idea of what it contains from
outside the group.
It can be especially useful if a group is used in multiple materials
and different sockets are being previewed in each one.
It also does some cleanup, details in the commits.

As Node Wrangler add-on is moving to extensions platform and maybe isn't shipped
with Blender from 4.2 onwards, some of it's more important functionalities which are
crucial for Blender UX can be ported inside core. Also see #121749.
This PR ports "Preview Node" operator from add-on inside `scripts/startup/bl_operators`.
When Shift-Ctrl (or Shift-Alt) clicked on the node operator connects output socket of the
node to active Output node in the tree (group, material, light, or world output). For Geometry
Nodes this is just handy operator, but in Shader Nodes, because Viewer Node isn't
implemented, this has always been the only way to quickly preview nodes by connecting
it to Material Output.
Changes made from Node Wrangler version:
- Renamed operator from "Preview Node" to "**Connect to Output**", because node previews
already mean a different thing in context of compositor and shader editor, and viewer node
is used for previewing in geometry nodes. Connect to Output is correct name because in every
context it's called that's what it does.
- Assigned shortcut Shift-Alt-Click in shader editor as well. Even though Shift-Ctrl click already
works, it's good to have consistency with geometry nodes, so that users can use same shortcut
in both contexts.
Operator doesn't work in compositor. It's not clear if that's wanted (to connect to Composite node),
and if it is it'll be added in separate PR.
