2ffd08e952 Geometry Nodes: deterministic anonymous attribute lifetimes
Previously, the lifetimes of anonymous attributes were determined by
reference counts which were non-deterministic when multiple threads
are used. Now the lifetimes of anonymous attributes are handled
more explicitly and deterministically. This is a prerequisite for any kind
of caching, because caching the output of nodes that do things
non-deterministically and have "invisible inputs" (reference counts)
doesn't really work.

For more details for how deterministic lifetimes are achieved, see D16858.

No functional changes are expected. Small performance changes are expected
as well (within few percent, anything larger regressions should be reported as
bugs).

e5425b566d Geometry Nodes: separate Instances from InstancesComponent
This makes instance handling more consistent with all the other geometry
component types. For example, `MeshComponent` contains a `Mesh *` and
now `InstancesComponent` has a `Instances *`.
