When dragging from the inputs of function nodes, other function
nodes wouldn't connect, because their socket declaration field types
weren't set correctly. Instead, they relied on code properly checking
the *node* declaration's `is_function_node()` method. However,
that increases complexity and requires passing the node instead of
just the socket in more places. Instead, set the proper field types
in the socket declaration during building.

Now that point clouds can be rendered with cycles, it makes sense
to allow assigning a material to them. Note that like volumes, they
only support a single material though.
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.

Some nodes didn't check the type of the link's socket for filtering.
Do this with a combination of manually calling the node tree's validate
links function and using the helper function for declarations.
Also clean up a few cases that added geometry sockets manually
when they can use the simpler helper function.
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 adds a bool field selection input to the Attribute Statistics node.
This is useful for running calculations on a subset of the input field data
rather that then whole set.

This is basically the same as rBee4ed99866fbb7ab04, the fix is
simply to check if the spline has evaluated points when deciding
the offsets into the result points array.
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.

This commit refactors the way the socket lists for group nodes,
and group input/output nodes are verified to match the group's
interface.
Previously the `bNodeSocket.new_sock` pointer was used to
temporarily mark the new sockets. This made the code confusing
and more complicated than necessary.
Now the old socket list is saved, and sockets are moved directly from
the old list to a new list if they match, or a new socket is created
directly in the new list.
This change is split from D13518, which aims to remove the `new_node`
and `new_sock` pointers. In the future this code might be removed
entirely in favor of using node socket declarations.

This patch refactors the instance-realization code and adds new functionality.
* Named and anonymous attributes are propagated from instances to the
realized geometry. If the same attribute exists on the geometry and on an
instance, the attribute on the geometry has precedence.
* The id attribute has special handling to avoid creating the same id on many
output points. This is necessary to make e.g. the Random Value node work
as expected afterwards.
Realizing instance attributes has an effect on existing files, especially due to the
id attribute. To avoid breaking existing files, the Realize Instances node now has
a legacy option that is enabled for all already existing Realize Instances nodes.
Removing this legacy behavior does affect some existing files (although not many).
We can decide whether it's worth to remove the old behavior as a separate step.
This refactor also improves performance when realizing instances. That is mainly
due to multi-threading. See D13446 to get the file used for benchmarking. The
curve code is not as optimized as it could be yet. That's mainly because the storage
for these attributes might change soonish and it wasn't worth optimizing for the
current storage format right now.

We often had to use two `FieldEvaluator` instances to first evaluate
the selection and then the remaining fields. Now both can be done
with a single `FieldEvaluator`. This results in less boilerplate code in
many cases.
Performance is not affected by this change. In a separate patch we
could improve performance by reusing evaluated sub-fields that are
used by the selection and the other fields.

Point cloud is two separate words, this just changes comments in
a few places where we were inconsistent. A small wording change
to another comment is also included.
Calling `foreach_field_input` on a highly nested field (we do that
often) has an exponential running time in the number of nodes.
That is because the same node may be visited many times.
This made Blender freeze on some setups that should work just fine.
Now every field keeps track of its inputs all the time. That replaces
the exponential algorithm with constant time access.
The const argument makes sense because these are the "source"
sockets, even though a const cast is necessary at one point.
The name "interface_socket" is an improvement over "stemp"
because the latter sounds like "temporary", or it confuses
the old socket template system with a node group's interface.
This patch replaces `round_fl_to_int` with `floor` and adjusts the
maximum value accordingly. The call to `round_fl_to_int` is problematic
here because it messes with the probability distribution at the edges
of the value range, meaning the first and last values were only half
as common as all other values. Since `round_fl_to_int` does
`floor(val + 0.5)`, it will not introduce misbehavior in edge cases.

This node outputs the current scene time in seconds or in frames.
Use of this node eliminates the need to use drivers to control values
in the node tree that are driven by the scene time.
Frame is a float value to provide for subframe rendering for motion
blur.

A crash happened when `instance_id_attribute` further down in the
function was null. This issue was probably introduced when the
id attribute starting using generic attribute handling.
This node is a field input that outputs a separate index for each mesh island.
The indices are based on the order of the lowest-numbered vertex in each island.

The type conversions do not depend on other files in the nodes
module. Furthermore we want to use the conversions in the
geometry module without creating a dependency to the
nodes module there.
The `node_storage` functions to retrieve const and mutable structs
from a node are generated by a short macro that can be placed at the
top of each relevant file. I use this in D8286 to make code snippets
in the socket declarations much shorter, but I thought it would be
good to use it consistently everywhere else too.
The functions are also useful to avoid copy and paste errors,
like the one corrected in the cylinder node in this commit.

The original move to c++ that the other commits depended upon had some issues
that should be fixed before committing it again. The issues were reported in
T93797, T93809 and T93798.
We should also find a better rule for not using c-style casts going forward,
although that wouldn't have been reason enough to revert the commits.
Introducing something like a `MEM_new<T>` and `MEM_delete<T>`
function might help with the the most common case of casting the return
type of `MEM_malloc`.
Going forward, I recommend first committing the changes that don't
require converting files to c++. Then convert the shading node files
in smaller chunks. Especially don't mix fairly low risk changes like
moving some simple nodes, with higher risk changes.
Error in d5efda72f5. Was changing an iteration that would free items
to an iterator that is not safe for use in such cases.
There still seem to be significant issues with the rendering, but that's
a separate issue to be fixed.
- Added space below non doc-string comments to make it clear
these aren't comments for the symbols directly below them.
- Use doxy sections for some headers.
- Minor improvements to doc-strings.
