As part of the refactor to the node declaration builders, we had hoped
to add a regular expression specifically for these socket names, but
recent discussions have revealed that using the translation marker
macros is the preferred solution.
If the names and descriptions were exposed to RNA, these would not
be necessary. However, that may be quite complicated, since sockets
are all instances of the same RNA types.

Instance IDs serve no purpose for rendering when they aren't stable from
one frame to the next, and if the index is used in the end anyway, there
is no point in storing a vector of IDs and copying it around.
This commit exposes the `id` attribute on the instances component,
makes it optional-- only generated by default with the distribute points
on faces node.
Since the string to curves node only added the index as each instance's
ID, I removed it. This means that it would be necessary to add the ID
data manually if the initial index actually helps (when deleting only
certain characters, for example).

Issue is that the Instance on Points node currently expects that all
instance references are used (see `remove_unused_references`).
This should be fixed at some point, but for now make sure that
the String to Curves node does not output unused references.

Because of a bug in VS2017 codecvt is replaced with Blender
BLI functions to convert from UTF8 to UTF32.

This commit adds a node that generates a text paragraph as curve
instances. The inputs on the node control the overall shape of the
paragraph, and other nodes can be used to move the individual instances
afterwards. To output more than one line, the "Special Characters" node
can be used.
The node outputs instances instead of real geometry so that it doesn't
have to duplicate work for every character afterwards. This is much
more efficient, because all of the curve evaluation and nodes like fill
curve don't have to repeat the same calculation for every instance of
the same character.
In the future, the instances component will support attributes, and the
node can output attribute fields like "Word Index" and "Line Index".
