Geometry Nodes: Port the trim curve node to the new data-block

The trim functionality is implemented in the geometry module, and
generalized a bit to be potentially useful for bisecting in the future.
The implementation is based on a helper type called `IndexRangeCyclic`
which allows iteration over all control points between two points on a
curve.

Catmull Rom curves are now supported-- trimmed without resampling first.
However, maintaining the exact shape is not possible. NURBS splines are
still converted to polylines using the evaluated curve concept.

Performance is equivalent or faster then a 3.1 build with regards to
node timings. Compared to 3.3 and 3.2, it's easy to observe test cases
where the node is at least 3 or 4 times faster.
