The new socket declaration api generates a surprising amount
of symbols in each translation unit where it is used. This resulted
in a measurable compile time increase.
This commit reduces the number of symbols that are generated in
each translation unit significantly. For example, in
`node_geo_distribute_points_on_faces.cc` the number of symbols
decreased from 1930 to 1335. In my tests, this results in a 5-20%
compile time speedup when this and similar files are compiled
in isolation (measured by executing the command in `compile_commands.json`).
Compiling the distribute points on faces node sped up from ~2.65s to ~2.4s.

Change the toggle to switch between an attribute and a single value to
only display for inputs that are fields, as determined statically by
the field inferencing added in rB61f3d4eb7c7db7. This means the field
inferencing must be calculated on file load, since it's used in the UI.

This adds initial limited support for socket tooltips. It's limited
in a couple of ways for now:
* Only works when hovering over the socket shape, not when hovering
over the value in the socket.
* Only works for built-in nodes that already use the new node
declaration system. This can later be extended to support pynodes.
Those limitations are well worth it for now, given that the
implementation is quite simple and the impact on usability is quite
large. More complex updates to the layout system, that would allow
showing socket tooltips in the nodes, can be done later. With the
current implementation we can at least start writing tooltips for
geometry nodes now.
This commit already adds tooltips for the Cylinder node as an example.

This implements the update logic for the vizualization of which
sockets pass data or constants directly, and which pass functions.
The socket shapes may still have to be updated. That should be
done separately, because it might be a bit more involved, because
socket shapes are currently linked to keyframe shapes. Currently
the circle and diamond shapes are used with the following meanings:
- Input Sockets:
- Circle: Required to be a single value.
- Diamond: This input supports fields.
- Output Sockets:
- Circle: This output is a single value.
- Diamond: This output may be a field.
Connecting a field to a circle input socket is an error, since a
field cannot be converted to a single value. If the socket shape
is a diamond with a dot in the middle, it means it is currently
a single value, but could be a field.
In addition to socket shapes, the intention is to draw node links
differently based on the field status. However, the exact method for
conveying that isn't decided yet.

I had to add `no_muted_links` to the declaration API. The name could
change there, but I think it's more obvious than "internal"

This commits adds a few common flags to `SocketDeclaration`
so that they are available for all socket types (hide label, hide
value, is multi input). This allows porting over the remaining
geometry nodes to the new declaration system.
Furthermore, this commit separates the concepts of the socket
declaration and corresponding builders. The builders are used
by nodes to declare which sockets they have (e.g. `FloatBuilder`).
The ready build socket declarations can then be consumed by
other systems such as the versioning code. Both use cases
need different APIs and those will change for independent reasons,
so it makes sense to separate the classes.

Previously, it was necessary to rebuild the node declaration
every time it was used. Now it is cached per node for easy
and fast access.
For more details on what this is, look at the comment in
`DNA_node_types.h`.

Previously, built-in nodes had to implement "socket templates"
(`bNodeSocketTemplate`) to tell Blender which sockets they have.
It was nice that this was declarative, but this approach was way
too rigid and was cumbersome to use in many cases.
This commit starts to move us away from this rigid structure
by letting nodes implement a function that declares the sockets
the node has. Right now this is used as a direct replacement
of the "socket template" approach to keep the refactor smaller.
It's just a bit easier to read and write.
In the future we want to support more complex features like
dynamic numbers of sockets and type inferencing. Those features
will be easier to build on this new approach.
This new approach can live side by side with `bNodeSocketTemplate`
for a while. That makes it easier to update nodes one by one.
Note: In `bNodeSocketTemplate` socket identifiers were made
unique automatically. In this new approach, one has to specify
unique identifiers manually (unless the name is unique already).
