46fff97604 Nodes: refactor socket declarations
This commits adds a few common flags to `SocketDeclaration`
so that they are available for all socket types (hide label, hide
value, is multi input). This allows porting over the remaining
geometry nodes to the new declaration system.

Furthermore, this commit separates the concepts of the socket
declaration and corresponding builders. The builders are used
by nodes to declare which sockets they have (e.g. `FloatBuilder`).
The ready build socket declarations can then be consumed by
other systems such as the versioning code. Both use cases
need different APIs and those will change for independent reasons,
so it makes sense to separate the classes.

cb83313863 Nodes: Add vector min/max support to new socket builder API
Also use it to fix an incorrect min and max in the cube mesh
primitive node.

a3ca973dec Nodes: fix incorrect id socket update
The issue was that the entire socket was rebuild, even though
only its `SOCK_HIDE_LABEL` flag changed. This broke e.g.
Object sockets from old files.

1e69a25043 Nodes: add more flexible method to declare sockets of a node
Previously, built-in nodes had to implement "socket templates"
(`bNodeSocketTemplate`) to tell Blender which sockets they have.
It was nice that this was declarative, but this approach was way
too rigid and was cumbersome to use in many cases.

This commit starts to move us away from this rigid structure
by letting nodes implement a function that declares the sockets
the node has. Right now this is used as a direct replacement
of the "socket template" approach to keep the refactor smaller.
It's just a bit easier to read and write.

In the future we want to support more complex features like
dynamic numbers of sockets and type inferencing. Those features
will be easier to build on this new approach.

This new approach can live side by side with `bNodeSocketTemplate`
for a while. That makes it easier to update nodes one by one.

Note: In `bNodeSocketTemplate` socket identifiers were made
unique automatically. In this new approach, one has to specify
unique identifiers manually (unless the name is unique already).
