6ee2abde82 Functions: use static names for multi-functions
Previously, the function names were stored in `std::string` and were often
created dynamically (especially when the function just output a constant).
This resulted in a lot of overhead.

Now the function name is just a `const char *` that should be statically
allocated. This is good enough for the majority of cases. If a multi-function
needs a more dynamic name, it can override the `MultiFunction::debug_name`
method.

In my test file with >400,000 simple math nodes, the execution time improves from
3s to 1s.

01b6c4b32b Functions: make multi functions smaller and cheaper to construct in many cases
Previously, the signature of a `MultiFunction` was always embedded into the function.
There are two issues with that. First, `MFSignature` is relatively large, because it contains
multiple strings and vectors. Secondly, constructing it can add overhead that should not
be necessary, because often the same signature can be reused.

The solution is to only keep a pointer to a signature in `MultiFunction` that is set during
construction. Child classes are responsible for making sure that the signature lives
long enough. In most cases, the signature is either embedded into the child class or
it is allocated statically (and is only created once).

c2ebf3edb4 Functions: provide dummy multi function
Sometimes it is convenient to be able to return a reference to some
dummy function.
