Mattias Fredriksson 095516403c Curves: Correct and improve Catmull Rom interpolation
Correct interpolation of integer POD types for Catmull Rom
interpolation as implemented in eaf416693d.

**Problem description**
`attribute_math::DefaultMixer<T>::mix_in()` assumes/asserts positive
weights but the basis function for Catmull-Rom splines generates
negative weights (see image in revision). Passing negative weights will
yield correct result as sum(weights) = 1 (after multiplication by 0.5)
but the assert is still triggered in debug builds. This patch adjusts
the behavior by extending the mix functions with mix4(). The benefit
of using mix#() over a DefaultMixer is that the result no longer needs
to be divided by the weight sum, instead utilizing that the basis weight
sum is constant (see plot).

**Changes**
 * Added mix4() and updated catmull_rom::interpolate() to use it.
 * Removed TODOs from catmull_rom functions.
 * Moved mix definitions to be ordered as 2, 3, 4 in the header.

**Implementation specifics**
`catmull_rom::interpolate()` uses a constexpr to differentiate between
POD types which multiplies the result with 0.5 after weighting the
values, this reduces the number of multiplications for 1D, 2D, 3D
vectors (https://godbolt.org/z/8M1z9Pxx6). While this could be
considered unnecessary, I didn't want to change the original behavior
as it could influence performance (did not measure performance here
as this should ensure the logic is ~identical for FP types).
