c27ef1e9e8 Geometry Nodes: dim links whose start and end sockets are not visible
This makes node trees with long links that cross other nodes easier to work with.
Dimmed links will be ignored by various modal operators like cut and reroute insertion.

9009ac2c3d Geometry Nodes: new Viewer node
This adds a viewer node similar to the one in the compositor.
The icon in the headers of nodes is removed because it served
the same purpose and is not necessary anymore.

Node outputs can be connected to the active viewer using
ctrl+shift+LMB, just like in the compositor. Right now this collides
with the shortcut used in the node wrangler addon, which will
be changed separately.

As of now, the viewed geometry is only visible in the spreadsheet.
Viewport visualization will be added separately.

There are a couple of benefits of using a viewer node compared
to the old approach with the icon in the node header:
* Better support for nodes that have more than one geometry output.
* It's more consistent with the compositor.
* If attributes become decoupled from geometry in the future,
  the viewer can have a separate input for the attribute to visualize.
* The viewer node could potentially have visualization settings.
* Allows to keep "visualization points" around by having multiple
  viewer nodes.
* Less visual clutter in node headers.

a1cc7042a7 Edge-scrolling for node editor
Starts scrolling when dragging a node or node link and going outside the current window.
Largely copied from the VIEW2D_OT_edge_pan operator.

Edge panning operator customdata and supporting functions now in
UI_view2d.h, so they could be used by operators in other editor
libraries. The VIEW2D_OT_edge_pan operator also uses this customdata and
shared functions now. Operators properties can be used to configure
edge panning margins and speed for each use case, rather than using
hardcoded values.

The speed function for edge panning has been tweaked somewhat:
* "Speed per pixel" has been replaced with a "speed ramp" distance.
  This is more intuitive and also creates an upper bound for the speed,
  which can otherwise become extreme with large cursor distance.
* "Max speed" is reached at the end of the speed ramp.
* Padding the region inside and outside is applied as before, but both
  values are operator properties now.

Node transform operator also supports edge panning. This requires
an offset for changes in the view2d rect, otherwise nodes are "stuck"
to the original view.

Transform operator had cursor wrapping categorically enabled, but this
gets quite confusing with the edge scrolling mechanism. A new TransInfo
option T_NO_CURSOR_WRAP has been introduced to disable this behavior.
The double negative is a bit annoying, but want to avoid affecting the
existing transform modes, so by default it should still set the
OP_IS_MODAL_GRAB_CURSOR flag (which then sets the WM_CURSOR_WRAP_XY
flag during modal execution).

4f8edc8e7f Nodes: move some files to C++
This just moves a couple of files in `space_node` to C++ and fixes
related errors.

The goal is to be able to use C++ data structures to simplify the code.
