This patch refactors the Result class in the compositor to use
GMutableSpan and std::variant to wrap the result's data. This reduces
the complexity of the code and slightly optimizes performance. This will
also make it easier to add new types and interface with other code like
multi-function procedures.

Nodes that process single values can fail to work for GPU compositing.
That's because multi-function procedures writes to the single values but
never uploads them to the GPU, which is what this patch does.

This patch allows the multi-function procedure pixel operation to
operate on single values. While it previously assumes a 1x1 image for
processing which was later reduced to a single value using input
processors. This is more efficient, but will allow us to use
multi-function procedures for single value sub-trees even in GPU
execution.
The compositor crashes if a node inside a node group is connected to a
group input that have a different type and the node group is used
without a connection to that input. That's because the compositor code
assumes the type of the group input without implicit type conversion to
the expected type of the node. To fix this, handle implicit conversion
for unconnected sockets as well.
This patch adds support for using integer sockets in compositor nodes.
This involves updating the Result class, node tree compiler, implicit
conversion operation, multi-function procedure operation, shader
operation, and some operations that supports multiple types.
Shader operation internally treats integers as floats, doing conversion
to and from int when reading and writing. That's because the GPUMaterial
compiler doesn't support integers. This is also the same workaround used
by the shader system. Though the GPU module are eyeing adding support
for integers, so we will update the code once they do that.
Domain realization is not yet supported for integer types, but this is
an internal limitation so far, as we do not plan to add nodes that
outputs integers soon. We are not yet sure how realization should happen
with regards to interpolation and we do not have base functions to
sample integer images, that's why I decided to delay its implementation
when it is actually needed.

By now it is just a "compositor", so move the files one folder up.
Things that were under realtime_compositor/intern move into
already existing intern folder.
