**Problem** Currently multiple input sockets are created when a new node group is made from selected nodes. Some of these are linked from the same source. It is not convenient to sort out and remove multiple input sockets that represent the same input. These inputs usually have meaningless names like 'value', 'x', etc. **Solution** Create common input sockets for each link starting from the same input. Move links inside the new group's node tree and reroute it to connect the common input socket to the original nodes. This is done by building up a mapping between the incoming link sources to the input interfaces created for them. The input interfaces are reused by the rest of the links having the same source. This patch also changes the way the input sockets get their names. Output socket names of the group nodes usually are specific and are given consciously. Use the output socket names from group nodes instead of the inputs where the links point to. Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D15802
