UI: Improve node editor dot background

This commit makes the dot grid used as background in the node editor
more visually stable when zooming in and out.

The dot grid now uses a continuously subdividing pattern, where
each level of subdivision divides the previous five times, similar to
the line grid in the 3D viewport.

The maximum for the "Grid Levels" theme setting is changed to 3, since
any further subdivisions are too small to be visible.
The "Grid Levels" value for the default themes "Blender Dark" and
"Blender Light" is therefore changed to 3, as well.
