11be151d58 Node Editor: Link Drag Search Menu
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.

c2292b2cd6 Cleanup: remove unnecessary extern template implementations
This technique isn't really necessary anymore, because unity builds
avoid instantiating the same template too many times already.

0bfae1b120 Geometry Nodes: geometry component type warning system
Previously, every node had to create warnings for unsupported input
geometry manually. Now this is automated. Nodes just have to specify
the geometry types they support in the node declaration.
