✨Directly connect parameter inPort to its literal node

[AdrySky]

Description

This will automatically connect to its literal node when link is dropped from a parameter InPort. There are 2 type of implementation:

1. Non-any type - Drag a link should automatically render the correct literal node.

2. any type - The literal node's type is render based on the first character of the given input.

Types taken into consideration for any type are :

1. 1 - Int
2. . - Float
3. " - String
4. [ - List
5. ( - Tuple
6. { - dict
7. !true / !True/ !1/ !t - True
8. !false / !False / !0 / !nil - False

• This change requires a documentation update

Tests

1. Drag link from non-any type InPorts
   1. Drag a node which have inPorts with non-any type
   2. Dropped a link from the port
   3. A input dialog should popup based on its type
   4. Insert any input and submit it
   5. That port should be connected to its literal node
2. Drag link from any type InPorts
   1. Drag a node which have inPorts with any type
   2. Dropped a link from the port
   3. A input dialog should popup
   4. Insert the first character mentioned above based on the type you want. Follow by, the input and submit it.
   5. That port should be connected to its literal node.

Thanks for the PR! I've tried out the new feature, feels super nice to use. Hope to get this merged soon!

Some things to note:

1. Dragging a literal component from the tray doesn't prompt the input dialog
2. For the float input.. it wasn't included in the tooltip description, but it feels a bit wonky to input .0.1. Let's piggy back on the integer notation using # then do an additional check if the input has a decimal or not. Don't forget to include the tooltip as well.

Those two for now. Thanks again for the PR!

Thanks for the reviewed. I wasn't aware the sidebar's literal was broken. Fix that.

For the float, I made the changes as requested. Even add a check if there is non-numeric value, it'll show an error dialog.
You can also insert like 12e3. It's a valid Numeric value in python and can be render.

Also, change a bit regarding any type when first character is undefined, it'll show error.

Feels solid. I've tested all the parameters and can confirm each correctly prompts the right input dialogue and renders the right node.

def main(args):

    ctx = {}
    ctx['args'] = args

    c_1 = HelloParameters()

    c_1.input_int.value = 1
    c_1.input_float.value = 1e2
    c_1.input_str.value = """asd"""
    c_1.input_bool.value = True
    c_1.input_list.value = [1,2,3]
    c_1.input_tuple.value = (1,2,3)
    c_1.input_dict.value = {"a":1}
    c_1.input_any.value = False

Great work, merging with main.
