This adds support for showing geometry passed to the Viewer in the 3d
viewport (instead of just in the spreadsheet). The "viewer geometry"
bypasses the group output. So it is not necessary to change the final
output of the node group to be able to see the intermediate geometry.
**Activation and deactivation of a viewer node**
* A viewer node is activated by clicking on it.
* Ctrl+shift+click on any node/socket connects it to the viewer and
makes it active.
* Ctrl+shift+click in empty space deactivates the active viewer.
* When the active viewer is not visible anymore (e.g. another object
is selected, or the current node group is exit), it is deactivated.
* Clicking on the icon in the header of the Viewer node toggles whether
its active or not.
**Pinning**
* The spreadsheet still allows pinning the active viewer as before.
When pinned, the spreadsheet still references the viewer node even
when it becomes inactive.
* The viewport does not support pinning at the moment. It always shows
the active viewer.
**Attribute**
* When a field is linked to the second input of the viewer node it is
displayed as an overlay in the viewport.
* When possible the correct domain for the attribute is determined
automatically. This does not work in all cases. It falls back to the
face corner domain on meshes and the point domain on curves. When
necessary, the domain can be picked manually.
* The spreadsheet now only shows the "Viewer" column for the domain
that is selected in the Viewer node.
* Instance attributes are visualized as a constant color per instance.
**Viewport Options**
* The attribute overlay opacity can be controlled with the "Viewer Node"
setting in the overlays popover.
* A viewport can be configured not to show intermediate viewer-geometry
by disabling the "Viewer Node" option in the "View" menu.
**Implementation Details**
* The "spreadsheet context path" was generalized to a "viewer path" that
is used in more places now.
* The viewer node itself determines the attribute domain, evaluates the
field and stores the result in a `.viewer` attribute.
* A new "viewer attribute' overlay displays the data from the `.viewer`
attribute.
* The ground truth for the active viewer node is stored in the workspace
now. Node editors, spreadsheets and viewports retrieve the active
viewer from there unless they are pinned.
* The depsgraph object iterator has a new "viewer path" setting. When set,
the viewed geometry of the corresponding object is part of the iterator
instead of the final evaluated geometry.
* To support the instance attribute overlay `DupliObject` was extended
to contain the information necessary for drawing the overlay.
* The ctrl+shift+click operator has been refactored so that it can make
existing links to viewers active again.
* The auto-domain-detection in the Viewer node works by checking the
"preferred domain" for every field input. If there is not exactly one
preferred domain, the fallback is used.
Known limitations:
* Loose edges of meshes don't have the attribute overlay. This could be
added separately if necessary.
* Some attributes are hard to visualize as a color directly. For example,
the values might have to be normalized or some should be drawn as arrays.
For now, we encourage users to build node groups that generate appropriate
viewer-geometry. We might include some of that functionality in future versions.
Support for displaying attribute values as text in the viewport is planned as well.
* There seems to be an issue with the attribute overlay for pointclouds on
nvidia gpus, to be investigated.

The memory leak happens because `ED_node_link_insert` (called after the
transform operation) overwrites the pre-existing `snode->runtime->iofsd`,
losing the reference without freeing the memory.
So to "move" the reference from `snode->runtime->iofsd` to
`op->customdata`, so that each operator works with its own data.

It's easier to keep track of state in these algorithms if it's stored in
a central place like a set. Plus, using flags requires clearing them
beforehand. For the selected linked operators, using the topology
cache means we don't have to iterate over all links.
The multi-socket input sorting was used for two purposes: moving links
to the proper positions when dragging a new link, and resetting the
multi-input indices on the links when removing a link. They are now
separated into two functions, and the sorting when making a group
node that didn't accomplish anything is removed (in that case a
proper implementation would copy the indices from the original
exterior sockets).
The previous implementation iterated over all links multiple times
recursively. Instead, use the node tree topology cache, only iterate
over all links once, and use a stack to propagate the mute upsteam
and downstream.
Now dragged handles are handled separately, and the function returns a
statically sized array by value. The functions are also renamed to be
more consistent with curve naming elsewhere in Blender.
The purpose of `NodeTreeRef` was to speed up various queries on a read-only
`bNodeTree`. Not that we have runtime data in nodes and sockets, we can also
store the result of some queries there. This has some benefits:
* No need for a read-only separate node tree data structure which increased
complexity.
* Makes it easier to reuse cached queries in more parts of Blender that can
benefit from it.
A downside is that we loose some type safety that we got by having different
types for input and output sockets, as well as internal and non-internal links.
This patch also refactors `DerivedNodeTree` so that it does not use
`NodeTreeRef` anymore, but uses `bNodeTree` directly instead.
To provide a convenient API (that is also close to what `NodeTreeRef` has), a
new approach is implemented: `bNodeTree`, `bNode`, `bNodeSocket` and `bNodeLink`
now have C++ methods declared in `DNA_node_types.h` which are implemented in
`BKE_node_runtime.hh`. To make this work, `makesdna` now skips c++ sections when
parsing dna header files.
No user visible changes are expected.

So far it was needed to declare a new RNA struct to `RNA_access.h` manually.
Since 9b298cf3db we generate a `RNA_prototypes.h` for RNA property
declarations. Now this also includes the RNA struct declarations, so they don't
have to be added manually anymore.

This avoids transform jumping which is a problem when tweaking values a
small amount. A fix for T40549 was made box-select used the location
when the key was pressed.
While it's important for box-select or any operator where it's expected
the drag-start location is used, this is only needed in some cases.
Since the event stores the click location and the current location,
no longer overwrite the events real location. Operators that depend on
using the drag-start can use this location if they need.
In some cases the region relative cursor location (Event.mval) now needs
to be calculated based on the click location.
- Added `WM_event_drag_start_mval` for convenient access to the region
relative drag-start location (for drag events).
- Added `WM_event_drag_start_xy` for window relative coordinates.
- Added Python property Event.mouse_prev_click_x/y
Resolves T93599.

This commit moves code in all node editor files to the
`blender::ed::space_node` namespace, except for C API
functions defined in `ED_node.h`, which can only be moved
once all areas calling them are moved to C++.
The change is fairly straightforward, I just moved a couple
of "ED_" code blocks around to make the namespace more
contiguous, and there's the method for adding a pointer to
a struct in a C++ namespace in DNA.

This was the case for multi input sockets that have a link already.
Since we have multi input sockets, the way we use `socket_is_available`
is not really giving the expected result on these.
When used for input sockets the intention is to find a free socket
(either for noodle **replacement**, then it is always available, or just
the next free available socket).
Now I would think without the intention to replace an existing link, a
multi input socket should still be available.
From the inside of the function, the `replace` argument turns [namewise]
to `allow_used`, which sounds a little different (so one might argue
that if `allow_used` is `False` this should also trigger for already
connected multi input sockets).
In the end, this is an issue with the variable naming though, cant think
of a usecase where the patch change would really go against intentions.

These operations (sorting and selecting all nodes) should generally
be handled by the node editor and not outside code. They were not
called outside of the node editor, so they can be moved to the editor's
`intern` header.
Goals of this refactor:
* More unified approach to updating everything that needs to be updated
after a change in a node tree.
* The updates should happen in the correct order and quadratic or worse
algorithms should be avoided.
* Improve detection of changes to the output to avoid tagging the depsgraph
when it's not necessary.
* Move towards a more declarative style of defining nodes by having a
more centralized update procedure.
The refactor consists of two main parts:
* Node tree tagging and update refactor.
* Generally, when changes are done to a node tree, it is tagged dirty
until a global update function is called that updates everything in
the correct order.
* The tagging is more fine-grained compared to before, to allow for more
precise depsgraph update tagging.
* Depsgraph changes.
* The shading specific depsgraph node for node trees as been removed.
* Instead, there is a new `NTREE_OUTPUT` depsgrap node, which is only
tagged when the output of the node tree changed (e.g. the Group Output
or Material Output node).
* The copy-on-write relation from node trees to the data block they are
embedded in is now non-flushing. This avoids e.g. triggering a material
update after the shader node tree changed in unrelated ways. Instead
the material has a flushing relation to the new `NTREE_OUTPUT` node now.
* The depsgraph no longer reports data block changes through to cycles
through `Depsgraph.updates` when only the node tree changed in ways
that do not affect the output.
Avoiding unnecessary updates seems to work well for geometry nodes and cycles.
The situation is a bit worse when there are drivers on the node tree, but that
could potentially be improved separately in the future.
Avoiding updates in eevee and the compositor is more tricky, but also less urgent.
* Eevee updates are triggered by calling `DRW_notify_view_update` in
`ED_render_view3d_update` indirectly from `DEG_editors_update`.
* Compositor updates are triggered by `ED_node_composite_job` in `node_area_refresh`.
This is triggered by calling `ED_area_tag_refresh` in `node_area_listener`.
Removing updates always has the risk of breaking some dependency that no
one was aware of. It's not unlikely that this will happen here as well. Adding
back missing updates should be quite a bit easier than getting rid of
unnecessary updates though.

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 helps to tell when a pointer is expected to be null, and avoid
overly verbose code when dereferencing. This commit also includes
a few other cleanups in this area:
- Use const in a few places
- Use `float2` instead of `float[2]`
- Remove some unnecessary includes and old code
The change can be continued further in the future.
Currently, custom sockets are no longer supported for automatic linking
when dropping a node on a link. This is because SOCK_CUSTOM is given a
negative priority and is ignored. To fix this, SOCK_CUSTOM is now given
the lowest priority and the rest of the sockets got their priority
incremented.
