Add a per node type callback for creating node add search operations,
similar to the way link drag search is implemented (11be151d58).
Currently the searchable strings have to be separate items in the list.
In a separate step, we can look into adding invisible searchable text
to search items if that's still necessary.

Avoid computing the non-derivative height twice.
The height is now computed as part of the main function, while the height at x and y offsets are still computed on a separate function.
The differentials are now computed directly at node_bump.

Since a year and a half ago we've been switching to a new way to
represent what sockets a node should have called "declarations"
that's easier to use, clearer, and more flexible for upcoming
features like dynamic socket counts or generic type sockets.
All builtin nodes with a static set of sockets have switched, but one
missing area has been group nodes and group input/output nodes. These
nodes have **dynamic** declarations which change based on their
properties or the group they're inside of. This patch addresses that,
in preparation for using the same dynamic declaration feature for
simulation nodes.
Generally there shouldn't be user-visible differences, but one benefit
is that user-created socket descriptions are now visible directly in
the node editor for group nodes and group input/output nodes.
The commit contains a few changes:
- Add a node type callback for building dynamic declarations with
different arguments
- Add an `Extend` socket declaration for the "virtual" sockets used
for connecting new links
- A similar `Custom` socket declaration is used for addon-defined socket
- Simplify the node update loop to use the declaration to build update
sockets
- Replace the "group update" functions with the declaration building
- Move the node group input/output link creation to link drag operator
- Make the field status part of group node declarations
(not for group input/output nodes though)
- Some fixes for declarations to make them update and build properly

Previously, `ParamsBuilder` lazily allocated an array for an
output when it was unused, but the called multi-function
wanted to access it. Now, whether the multi-function supports
an output to be unused is part of the signature. This way, the
allocation can happen earlier when the parameters are build.
The benefit is that this makes all methods of `MFParams`
thread-safe again, removing the need for a mutex.
This moves all multi-function related code in the `functions` module
into a new `multi_function` namespace. This is similar to how there
is a `lazy_function` namespace.
The main benefit of this is that many types names that were prefixed
with `MF` (for "multi function") can be simplified.
There is also a common shorthand for the `multi_function` namespace: `mf`.
This is also similar to lazy-functions where the shortened namespace
is called `lf`.
This avoids a move of the signature after building it. Tthe value had
to be moved out of `MFSignatureBuilder` in the `build` method.
This also makes the naming a bit less confusing where sometimes
both the `MFSignature` and `MFSignatureBuilder` were referred
to as "signature".
* New `build_mf` namespace for the multi-function builders.
* The type name of the created multi-functions is now "private",
i.e. the caller has to use `auto`. This has the benefit that the
implementation can change more freely without affecting
the caller.
* `CustomMF` does not use `std::function` internally anymore.
This reduces some overhead during code generation and at
run-time.
* `CustomMF` now supports single-mutable parameters.
Improve animation playback performance in EEVEE for materials using Mix
nodes. Socket availability was being set and reset on every evaluation
of Mix nodes, during animation playback, this was causing the graph to
be marked dirty, and the whole graph being re-evaluated on every frame,
causing performance issues during playback.
Additionally, do a bit of cleanup, traversing the node sockets with
the next link to improve clarity and reduce errors. Also refactoring
`nodeSetSocketAvailability` to early out and increase clarity on no-op.

When these declarations are built without the help of the special
builder class, it's much more convenient to set them directly rather
than with a constructor, etc. In most other situations the declarations
should be const anyway, so theoretically this doesn't affect safety too
much. Most construction of declarations should still use the builder.

This adds a new mirror image extension type for shaders and
geometry nodes (next to the existing repeat, extend and clip
options).
See D16432 for a more detailed explanation of `wrap_mirror`.
This also adds a new sampler flag `GPU_SAMPLER_MIRROR_REPEAT`.
It acts as a modifier to `GPU_SAMPLER_REPEAT`, so any `REPEAT`
flag must be set for the `MIRROR` flag to have an effect.

Based on feedback from Simon Thommes, for link-drag-serach it's most
useful to have the A and B sockets connected, first, then the factor
sockets, then the special color mix operations. This addresses that by
adding the search items in order and decrementing a weight manually
as items are added.
In a few places, nodes were added without updating the Identifiers and
vector. In other places nodes we removed without removing from and
rebuilding the vector. This is solved in a few ways. First I exposed
a function to rebuild the vector from scratch, and added unique ID
finding to a few places.
The changes to node group building and separating are more involved,
mostly because it was hard to see the correct behavior without some
refactoring. Now `VectorSet` is used to store nodes involved in the
operation. Some things are handled more simply with the topology
cache and by passing a span of nodes.
This patch adds an integer identifier to nodes that doesn't change when
the node name changes. This identifier can be used by different systems
to reference a node. This may be important to store caches and simulation
states per node, because otherwise those would always be invalidated
when a node name changes.
Additionally, this kind of identifier could make some things more efficient,
because with it an integer is enough to identify a node and one does not
have to store the node name.
I observed a 10% improvement in evaluation time in a file with an extreme
number of simple math nodes, due to reduced logging overhead-- from
0.226s to 0.205s.

The main goal here is to move towards more self contained node
definitions. Previously, one would have to change `blenkernel` to
add a new node which is not necessary anymore. There is no need
for all these register functions to "leak out" of the nodes module.

Based on discussion in D10891, this node isn't meant to be exposed and
may be removed in the future. The fact that it was exposed in search
menus was a mistake from the implementation of link-drag-search
and bdb5754147.
I explicitly removed the link drag search implementation, and added
(Legacy) to the node name which hides it from the add node search.
Instead of generating a dependency sorted node list whenever evaluating
texture or EEVEE/viewport shader nodes, use the existing sorted array
from the topology cache. This may be more efficient because the
algorithm isn't quadratic. It's also the second-to-last place to
use `node.runtime->level`, which can be removed soon.

* This patch just moves runtime data to the runtime struct to cleanup
the dna struct. Arguably, some of this data should not even be there
because it's very use case specific. This can be cleaned up separately.
* `miniwidth` was removed completely, because it was not used anywhere.
The corresponding rna property `width_hidden` is kept to avoid
script breakage, but does not do anything (e.g. node wrangler sets it).
* Since rna is in C, some helper functions where added to access the
C++ runtime data from rna.
* This size of `bNode` decreases from 432 to 368 bytes.
The goal is to improve clarity and readability, without
introducing big design changes.
Follows the recent obmat to object_to_world refactor: the
similar naming is used, and it is a run-time only rename,
meaning, there is no affect on .blend files.
This patch does not touch the redundant inversions. Those
can be removed in almost (if not all) cases, but it would
be the best to do it as a separate change.

The attribute node already allows accessing attributes associated
with objects and meshes, which allows changing the behavior of the
same material between different objects or instances. The same idea
can be extended to an even more global level of layers and scenes.
Currently view layers provide an option to replace all materials
with a different one. However, since the same material will be applied
to all objects in the layer, varying the behavior between layers while
preserving distinct materials requires duplicating objects.
Providing access to properties of layers and scenes via the attribute
node enables making materials with built-in switches or settings that
can be controlled globally at the view layer level. This is probably
most useful for complex NPR shading and compositing. Like with objects,
the node can also access built-in scene properties, like render resolution
or FOV of the active camera. Lookup is also attempted in World, similar
to how the Object mode checks the Mesh datablock.
In Cycles this mode is implemented by replacing the attribute node with
the attribute value during sync, allowing constant folding to take the
values into account. This means however that materials that use this
feature have to be re-synced upon any changes to scene, world or camera.
The Eevee version uses a new uniform buffer containing a sorted array
mapping name hashes to values, with binary search lookup. The array
is limited to 512 entries, which is effectively limitless even
considering it is shared by all materials in the scene; it is also
just 16KB of memory so no point trying to optimize further.
The buffer has to be rebuilt when new attributes are detected in a
material, so the draw engine keeps a table of recently seen attribute
names to minimize the chance of extra rebuilds mid-draw.
