This patch redesigns the File Output node to provide better UX and UI.
This is mainly achieved by allowing the user to create inputs by
dragging into an Extend socket and adjust existing inputs using the
familiar UI list design available in Blender. Additionally, various UI
changes were done:
- The Use Node Format option was renamed to Override Node Format for
clarity.
- Socket types are now fixed and do not change as new links are made,
allowing users to specify the exact output type and employ implicit
conversion if needed.
- The distinction between images and Multi-Layer EXR was made clearer.
- Final output paths are drawn in the UI to remove guess work.
- The Base Path was split into a Directory and a File Name.
- Panels were added to group options, include a panel for the node
format, items, and item formats.

Since we are removing `scene.use_nodes` in #143578, most developers
will have to update their python script by replacing `scene.node_tree`
by `scene.compositing_node_group` in order to create a new compositing
node tree anyways. So we remove `scene.node_tree`.
Note: `scene->nodetree` in `scene_blend_write()` is still being written
to the blend file, so forward compatibility is not affected by this PR.

Previously, when a file output test failed, all images within the same
test case were updated, even images that did not cause the test to fail.
This patch only updates changed/removed images so when the test is run
using `BLENDER_TEST_UPDATE=1 ctest -R compositor_cpu_file_output` git
will only show the modified, added or removed images

The patch adds a simple framework to test the File Output Node in the compositor. The main difference to the existing `render_test.py` framework is that multiple output images are supported. Edge cases such as empty output or too many outputs are supported as well.
Tests can be run like other compositor tests, e.g. `ctest -R compositor_cpu_file_output --verbose` or `BLENDER_TEST_UPDATE=1 ctest -R compositor_cpu_file_output` to update failing tests.
