Sometimes not all outputs of a multi-function are required by the
caller. In those cases it would be a waste of compute resources
to calculate the unused values anyway. Now, the caller of a
multi-function can specify when a specific output is not used.
The called function can check if an output is unused and may
ignore it. Multi-functions can still computed unused outputs as
before if they don't want to check if a specific output is unused.
The multi-function procedure system has been updated to support
ignored outputs in call instructions. An ignored output just has no
variable assigned to it.
The field system has been updated to generate a multi-function
procedure where unused outputs are ignored.
The multi-function network system was able to compose multiple
multi-functions into a new one and to evaluate that efficiently.
This functionality was heavily used by the particle nodes prototype
a year ago. However, since then we only used multi-functions
without the need to compose them in geometry nodes.
The upcoming "fields" in geometry nodes will need a way to
compose multi-functions again. Unfortunately, the code removed
in this commit was not ideal for this different kind of function
composition. I've been working on an alternative that will be added
separately when it becomes needed.
I've had to update all the function nodes, because their interface
depended on the multi-function network data structure a bit.
The actual multi-function implementations are still the same though.
