Spreadsheet: support showing data of specific node

Previously, the spreadsheet editor could only show data of the original
and of the final evaluated object. Now it is possible to show the data
at some intermediate stages too.

For that the mode has to be set to "Node" in the spreadsheet editor.
Furthermore, the preview of a specific node has to be activated by
clicking the new icon in the header of geometry nodes.

The exact ui of this feature might be refined in upcoming commits.
It is already very useful for debugging node groups in it's current
state though.
