Using the `MEM_*` API from C++ code was a bit annoying:
* When converting C to C++ code, one often has to add a type cast on
returned `void *`. That leads to having the same type name three times
in the same line. This patch reduces the amount to two and removes the
`sizeof(...)` from the line.
* The existing alternative of using `OBJECT_GUARDED_NEW` looks a out
of place compared to other allocation methods. Sometimes
`MEM_CXX_CLASS_ALLOC_FUNCS` can be used when structs are defined
in C++ code. It doesn't look great but it's definitely better. The downside
is that it makes the name of the allocation less useful. That's because
the same name is used for all allocations of a type, independend of
where it is allocated.
This patch introduces three new functions: `MEM_new`, `MEM_cnew` and
`MEM_delete`. These cover the majority of use cases (array allocation is
not covered).
The `OBJECT_GUARDED_*` macros are removed because they are not
needed anymore.

The patch fixes some misalignments in the nodes' sockets/options
recently introduced in 26d2caee3b, while maintaining the original
fix for T92268.
The original fix made the top padding always of the same size; while
that works when the first row of the other node is `Socket | Socket`,
it doesn't for other more common cases, `like Socket | Node Option`,
where the text results misaligned.

Currently, most node buttons are defined in `drawnode.cc` however,
this is inconvenient because it requires editing many files when adding new nodes.
The goal is to minimize the number of files needed to add or update a node.
This commit moves most of the node layout functions for composite nodes into their respected
`source/blender/nodes/composite/nodes` file.
In the future, these functions will be simplified to `node_layout` once files have their own namespace.

This patch removes no-op node editor preview code (`PR_NODE_RENDER`)
and most calls to `BKE_node_preview_init_tree`. The only remaining call is
in the compositor.
- Shader nodes previews don't seem to do anything.
- In-node previews for the texture node system doesn't work either.
This is a first step to refactoring to remove `preview_xsize`,
`preview_ysize`, and `prvr` from nodes in DNA, aligned with
the general goal of removing runtime/derived data from data
structs.

This commit adds a search menu when links are dragged above empty
space. When releasing the drag, a menu displays all compatible
sockets with the source link. The "main" sockets (usually the first)
are weighted above other sockets in the search, so they appear first
when you type the name of the node.
A few special operators for creating a reroute or a group input node
are also added to the search.
Translation is started after choosing a node so it can be placed
quickly, since users would likely adjust the position after anyway.
A small "+" is displayed next to the cursor to give a hint about this.
Further improvements are possible after this first iteration:
- Support custom node trees.
- Better drawing of items in the search menu.
- Potential tweaks to filtering of items, depending on user feedback.
Thanks to Juanfran Matheu for developing an initial patch.

This replaces lost functionality from the old GN Attribute Map Range node.
This also adds vector support to the shader version of the node.
Notes:
This breaks forward compatibility as this node now uses data storage.

Code is simpler when the uiBlocks used during drawing are simply
stored in an array. Additionally, looping can be simpler when we use
an vector to hold a temporary copy of the tree's linked list of nodes.
This patch also slightly changes how uiBlocks are "named" in
`node_uiblocks_init`. Now it uses the node name instead of the
pointer, which is helpful so we rely less on the node's address.

This builds off of rBf951aa063f7, adding a weight parameter which can
be used to change the order of items when they have the same match
score. In the future, if string searching gets a C++ API, we could
use an optional parameter for the weight, since it is not used yet.
This will be used for the node link drag search menu (D8286).

I assume this `butr` rectangle was used more in the past,
but currently its value is set and used less than 10 lines apart,
so it's trivial to remove 16 bytes from every node. The other
rectangles are also runtime data and could be removed, but
they are more difficult.
Though the interfacing with `rctf` becomes slightly more complicated,
this should be more helpful as more of this code usese `float2` instead
of two separate floats.
As a followup to 338c1060d5, apply the same change to the node
drawing callback. This helps to simplify code when the complexity
of a callback isn't necessary right now.
Currently there are a few callbacks on `bNodeType` that do the same
thing for every node type except reroutes and frame nodes. Having a
callback for basic things complicates code and makes it harder to
understand, and reroutes and frames are special cases in larger way.
Arguably frame nodes shouldn't even be drawn like regular nodes,
given that it adds a case of O(N^2) looping through all nodes.
"Unrolling" the callbacks makes it easier to see what's happening,
and therefore easier to optimize.

This helps to tell when a pointer is expected to be null, and avoid
overly verbose code when dereferencing. This commit also includes
a few other cleanups in this area:
- Use const in a few places
- Use `float2` instead of `float[2]`
- Remove some unnecessary includes and old code
The change can be continued further in the future.
The group output node did not have the same size padding as the group
input, leading to the node looking different and actually being smaller.

Currently, custom sockets are no longer supported for automatic linking
when dropping a node on a link. This is because SOCK_CUSTOM is given a
negative priority and is ignored. To fix this, SOCK_CUSTOM is now given
the lowest priority and the rest of the sockets got their priority
incremented.

Currently the geometry nodes evaluator always stores a field for every
type that supports it, even if it is just a single value. This results in a lot
of overhead when there are many sockets that just contain a single
value, which is often the case.
This introduces a new `ValueOrField<T>` type that is used by the geometry
nodes evaluator. Now a field will only be created when it is actually
necessary. See D13307 for more details. In extrem cases this can speed
up the evaluation 2-3x (those cases are probably never hit in practice
though, but it's good to get rid of unnecessary overhead nevertheless).

Now that `node_intern.hh` is a C++ header, we can use C++ types
there. This patch replaces the linked list of dragged links with a

D13044 allowed the link color overlay to be used with custom sockets.
This no longer works due to a condition that checks if the socket is

Previously, node types had a callback that creates internal links. Pretty
much all nodes used the same callback though. The exceptions are the
reroute node (which probably shouldn't be mutable anyway) and some
input/output nodes that are not mutable.
Removing the callback helps with D13246, because it makes it easier
to reason about which internal links are created and when they change.
In the future, the internal links should be part of the node declaration.
Allow the use of floating-point values for font point sizes, which
allows greater precision and flexibility for text output.
