[Bf-committers] Node link swapping

[David McSween]

Mostly I only have the need for socket swapping because I forget that in
Blender -the bottom socket is the top layer and the top socket is the
bottom layer of a mixed image :P

But yeah the mix node or nodes with similar duplicated sockets are of
issue, it's not ideal to just swap to the next available socket as it was
before.
