Implement a native method to swap between different node and zone types.
This implementation repurposes the existing menu definitions as base
classes, from which both an "Add" and a "Swap" version would be generated
from. This allows both menus to have the same layout, but use their own
operators for handling the different node/zone types.
In this PR, support for all node editors has been implemented.
Invoking the menu is currently bound to `Shift + S`, same as the old
implementation in Node Wrangler. Since "Swap" is implemented as a
regular menu, features that menus already have such as type-to-search
and adding to Quick Favorites don't require any extra caveats to
consider.

Extract
- Cycles denoiser enum.
- Extensions user preferences UI.
- Node operator poll message from new node function.
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).

Pull Request: https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/122969
Refactor the Add menu in Texture Nodes, with manually created menus,
inspired by Geometry Nodes and more recently Shader and Compositor.
Minor sorting adjustments by splitting categories in groups, with
separators in between groups, and sorted alphabetically.
Unlike other node editors, this menu will not feature assets for the time
being. Doing so would add (more) burden of maintenance to a system
that is deemed end-of-life, and likely to be rewritten before long.
