Geometry Nodes: initial support for volumes

For the most part, this just adds boilerplate code for volume support in geometry nodes:
* Add `VolumeComponent` next to `MeshComponent`, etc.
* Support `VolumeComponent` in depsgraph object iterator.

Furthermore, I added initial volume support in a few nodes:
* The Object Info node outputs an object instance when the input is a volume object
(that will be the same for mesh objects soonish, to avoid copies).
* Support transforming a `VolumeComponent` in the Transform node.
* Support the `VolumeComponent` in Join Geometry nodes, but only when just one of the
inputs has a volume component for now.

Right now, there is no way to create a `VolumeComponent`, because the Object Info node
outputs an object instance. The `VolumeComponent` will be necessary for upcoming nodes,
which will generate volumes on the fly.

Viewport selection does not work correctly with `VolumeComponent`s currently. I don't
know why that is. That can be figured out a bit later, once we can actually create
new volumes in geometry nodes.
