Make Copy to Points and (Circular) Repeat and nodes output group data, and add flattening nodes (#2011)

* Output group from repeat, add flatten vector elements

* Fix tests

* Fix demo artwork

* Output group from copy to points, add repeat for graphic groups, fix editor freeze on render fail

* Restore painted dreams

* WIP: Fix demo artwork

* Fix demo artwork, add ungroup node

* Incorrect scaling

* fix test

* Fix demo art
