This operator was duplicating feature that already exists in core
Blender (`node.join`), and was not working great as well. So there is
no need to maintain this python operator, but to keep consistency for
users I kept the keymap and UI entry but assigned it to `node.join`
operator instead, so that users don't notice change.
I assigned keymap inside add-on and not in Blender core because people
who didn't use Node Wrangler have that key free, or have something else
assigned (and `node.join` is already mapped to Ctrl+J), so only Node
Wrangler users should have this keymap. We can change it and rename
built-in operator to Parent, instead of Join, and remap it to Shift+P,
but that's separate discussion.
Resolves#129404.

- 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".

Operator reports that use string formatting need explicit rpt_() tags,
otherwise translation occurs after formatting and the string is not
found in the translation files.
- Reuse menus' bl_label in UI code when identical.
- Switch labels to title case.
- Switch descriptions to sentence case.
- Do not end sentences with "." in reports.
- Replace "Can't" with "Cannot" and "Don't" with "Do Not".
The bl_info dictionary is deprecated for most extensions, but it is
still used for core add-ons and since Node Wrangler is now built-in,
it should be marked as official.
The reason for this change is actually that it enables translation of
the Node Wrangler UI, because add-ons below official support level
were never considered for translation.
-----
The reason only OFFICIAL add-ons are translated is that they are enabled [here](4f36fb1afe/scripts/modules/bl_i18n_utils/bl_extract_messages.py (L1052)) during message extraction.

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.
