18be02b859 Geometry Nodes: improve accessing attribute meta data
This allows accessing attribute meta data like domain and data type
without having to create a `ReadAttribute`. I kept the `attribute_names`
method for now to keep the patch more self contained.

e1fe1fcc79 Cleanup: rename AttributeInfo to AttributeKind
"Kind" is a bit less generic than "Info" for me. Especially, it implies
that the struct does not contain the name of a specific attribute
(for me anyway).

999abee874 Geometry Nodes: convert point cloud to mesh vertices for modifiers
Previously, when a Geometry Nodes modifier outputs a point cloud
(e.g. generated using the Point Distribute node), other modifiers
could not use that data. Now, the point cloud data is converted to
mesh vertices for such modifiers.

Ref T85281.

53bf04f284 Geometry Nodes: Expose material index attribute
The `material_index` attribute can adjust which material in the list
will be applied to each face of the mesh. There are two new things
about this attribute that haven't been exposed by the attribute API yet.
Each comes with limitations:
 1. Integer data type: Most attribute nodes are currently written to use
    float data types. This means that they can't write to this attribute
    because they can't change the type of a built-in attribute.
 2. Polygon domain: This is our first attribute using the polygon domain,
    meaning until some of the interpolations are implemented, some
    operations may not work as expected.

Currently the two nodes that work with this attribute are Attribute Fill
and Attribute Randomize.

5688f791f5 Geometry Nodes: move realize-instances code to blenkernel
I need to access this functionality from modifier code. Therefore it should
not be in the nodes module.

21de1f9148 Geometry Nodes: move geometry set instance handling to separate file
In an upcoming commit I'll also move the make-instances-real functionality
to this file. This code is not essential to working with geometry sets in general,
so it makes sense to move it to a separate header.
