Geometry Nodes: Improve node group output modifier error

More than output for the modifier's node group is fine, because the
node group may be used in other situations, but the modifier will
not work if there is no geometry output socket.

Empty Modifier: Fix build and put in the right order

Bypassing the macro that creates modifiers to allow the enum to be
referring to the Empty modifier, but the internal struct in the code to
be Nodes.

Also fix the name of the new created modifiers to be "Empty".

Fix was built with rBb458ea6b23381a9acb90dbbd73ced678e1d404c5.

Rename: "Nodes" modifier to "Empty" (take 2)

Leave the internal DNA data struct as "Nodes", and only rename the
modifier and user interface to Empty.

See 4a2734a835c10d5bffaaceddc59c for the original take and the reasoning
for renaming from Nodes to Empty.

Revert "Rename: "Nodes" modifier to "Empty""

This reverts commit 4a2734a835c10d5bffaaceddc59c41837801f402.

Reverting this so that all we change is the UI name, not the DNA struct
and the internal variable names.

Geometry Nodes : Removing "Combine Strings" and Group Instance ID from UI

This diff remove "Combine Strings" and "Group Instance ID" nodes from the UI (but keep them in the source code to be able to bring them back if needed).

This is part of "Cleanup 1st Sprint Nodes" (https://developer.blender.org/T82370).

Rename: "Nodes" modifier to "Empty"

This introduces a regression. Users need to re-create their modifiers
and set their values again. The NodeGroups are intact so all they need
is to create new "Empty" modifiers and set the node group.

---

Original problem: Eventually most modifiers will be node-based, so naming
this new modifier "Nodes" will get outdated pretty quickly.

Calling it "Empty" it's fairly descriptive, since the node tree simply connects
the modifier Input to an Output, without any effect.

There is a potential problem, that it could be associated with the
Empty object type. Like some sort of Hook.

This is the task T82700, and the design task T82537.

Geometry Nodes: Improve error messages for property mismatches

Related to T82438. This adds some basic checks for common errors and
currently unsupported socket types in the modifier.

Cleanup: Remove unused variable

Cleanup: Clang Tidy

Cleanup: Spelling

Also move some input extraction after the special case check.

Geometry Nodes: Add method enums to mesh triangulate node

This commit adds the remaining "method" enums from the triangulate modifier.

Geometry Nodes: Add null check for modifier property UI functions

An ID IDProperty exposed to the modifier (object, material, etc) does not
have min, max, etc. values, so they should not be required.

Cleanup: Fix typo

Geometry Nodes: Add modifier disabled check

Geometry Nodes: use density attribute name instead of index as node input

This implements a workaround for the issue that (for historical reasons)
the names of vertex groups are stored on the object while the actual vertex
group data is stored on the mesh.

The solution is to copy the vertex group names from the object into
the `MeshComponent` so that the information is not lost, when the
object cannot be accessed.

Geometry Nodes: cleanup geometry node interface

Previously, the execution function of a geometry node has three parameters.
Now it has only one. This makes it easier to pass more information to the
execution function, that might only be used by a few nodes, because we
don't have to add more parameters that are unused in most cases.
