This patch fixes a visual bug related to connecting an output socket to
a Multi-Input Socket, that already has a link to that same output.
In this case, the drag link got a new index and snapped to a new
position. This path makes the drag link snap to the same position as the
first link between the two sockets.

This Patch removes the auto sorting from Multi-Input Sockets and allows
the links to be sorted by drag and drop instead.
As a minor related change, it fixes the drawing of the mute line to
connect to the first input instead of the socket's center.
This commit exposes the strings used in the node error messages for
localization. It also changes the message tooltip creation to
automatically add the period at the end, to be more consistent with
the (arguably bad) design of other tooltips in Blender.
Calling `TIP_` directly in the node implementation files allows us to
continue using `std::string` concatenation instead of passing variadic
arguments. It's also more explicit about which part of the message is
translated and which isn't. The files already include the translation
header anyway.
These defines seem to be left over from the initial implementation
of the node editor. In a few places the values were used in button
creation, but the callbacks never checked the value anyway.
Node uiBlocks also had a callback what would never do anything
since the value it checked for was never used.
This commit tweaks how virtual sockets (unconnected node group input
and output sockets) are drawn to make them more recognizable. The
outline is changed to a gray color, and they get a dark inner color.

This patch adds icons to the right side of nodes when they encounter a
a problem. When hovered, a tooltip displays describing the encountered
while evaluating the node.
Some examples are: attribute doesn't exist, mesh has no faces,
incorrect attribute type, etc. Exposing more messages to the system
will be an ongoing process. Multiple warnings per node are supported.
The system is implemented somewhat generically so that the basic
structure can also be used to store more information from evaluation
for the interface, like a list of available attributes.
Currently the messages are just button tooltips. They could be styled
differently in the future. Another limitation is that every instance of
a node group in a parent node tree will have the same error messages,
the "evaluation context" used to decide when to display the tooltips
must be extended to support node tree paths.

This will allow using C++ data structures to draw node error messages.
This required removing a forward declared enum for grease pencil undo.
Compiles with clang tidy.
