This patch adds a new Image Info node which returns information about
compositor images. The node has three sources:
The node returns the following information:
- Pixel Coordinates: The coordinates of the centers of the pixels in the
image. Those are essentially the integer coordinates with half pixels
offsets added.
- Texture Coordinates: Zero centered pixel coordinates normalized along
the greater dimension. Somewhat analogous to Object coordinates in
shader nodes.
- Resolution: The resolution of the image.
- Location: The location of the image in the virtual compositing space.
- Rotation: The rotation of the image in the virtual compositing space.
- Scale: The scale of the image in the virtual compositing space.
This node is very useful to allow greater flexibility and procedural
creations. For instance, coordinates can be used to create procedural
effects like vignette using very simple math nodes. And size can be used
to compute size-relative parameters for pixel-parameter nodes.

This patch adds common nodes that are used in Geometry Nodes and Shader
Nodes to the compositor. The following new nodes were added:
- Vector Math.
- Vector Rotate.
- Vector Mix.
- Value Mix.
- Clamp.
- Float Curve.
- Blackbody.
The follow nodes were replaced by common counterparts:
- Value.
- Color Ramp.
- Mix Color.
- Map Range.
- Math.
- Combine XYZ.
- Separate XYZ.
- Vector Curves.
Some new features were gained in the process:
- Mix Color can now clamp both factor and result.
- Map Range can map different types and interpolations.
- Vector Curves gained a new Factor input.
Some behaviors were changed:
- Map Range previously forcibly clamped values whose magnitude is larger
than the arbitrary value of 10000. This is no longer the case.
Some nodes were removed:
- Map Value. This was Map Range without the maximum 10000 limitation
followed by a Clamp node. Both are now available as nodes.
Some common nodes remain separate:
- Separate/Combine Color. Shader counterpart does not yet support all
color modes, and does not support alpha.
- RGB Curves. Shader variant does not support Film-Like curves or
Black/White balancing.
Texture nodes will also be added soon in a separate patch. Nodes that
were replaced are now deprecated but still exist and will later be
removed in v5.0. Backward compatibility code was introduced to convert
from the deprecated nodes to the new nodes.

Extract:
- Operators' poll messages, including Python-defined ones.
- Use default translation context for the region toggle pie menu.
- Newly created F-Curve modifiers.
- Newly created video tracker track.
- Grease Pencil UV area status message
- Status messages in the graph slider operators.
- Status message "Text <text.py>" when opening .blend with
auto-executing Python file.
Disambiguate:
- Track: can mean NLA track, video tracking, a tracking marker, or
a track constraint.
- Tracking: can mean video tracking, or a track constraint.

Changes:
- Renamed Split Viewer Node to Split Node
- Split Node is now under `Utilities` (similar to Switch node)
- Versioning: split viewer from 4.0 and before is replaced with the new split node connected to a new viewer node.

The menu structure currently needs to be duplicated in the code to avoid
adding assets to more than one menu. This was done for geometry nodes
in b49c84276c but was missed for the compositor and shader
nodes. Also remove an unnecessary separator.
Refactor the Add menu in Shading nodes, with manually created menus,
inspired by Geometry Nodes and more recently the Compositor.
Minor sorting adjustments by splitting categories in groups, with
separators in between groups, and sorted alphabetically. Shading
node group assets are also populated in the menus.
This is the first part of the re-organization of the Add menu,
part of #111746

Improve discoverability of items and consistency with other editors.
Split menu into groups, divided by separators, sorting alphabetically
within each group of items. Following how it is done in Geometry Nodes.

Minor sorting adjustments by splitting categories in groups, with

node group assets are also populated in the menus.
This is the first part of the re-organization of the Add menu project,
proposal coming in another patch after this.
