Currently the geometry nodes evaluator always stores a field for every type that supports it, even if it is just a single value. This results in a lot of overhead when there are many sockets that just contain a single value, which is often the case. This introduces a new `ValueOrField<T>` type that is used by the geometry nodes evaluator. Now a field will only be created when it is actually necessary. See D13307 for more details. In extrem cases this can speed up the evaluation 2-3x (those cases are probably never hit in practice though, but it's good to get rid of unnecessary overhead nevertheless).
