Add a ColorRamp same as the ui menu into the shader editor, without connect anything

Architecture: per-material node groups

• Settings are organized into three unique node groups per material:
  • Retro_Pixelation_Group — UV pixelation / grid density
  • Retro_Palette_Group — color ramp + palette mix
  • Retro_BaseGen_Group — no-image generators (gradient, noise, wave, voronoi, magic, solid)
• Each material owns its own group datablocks (.Retro_*_), so materials stay independent.

Selection isolation

• Palette, mix, shuffle, pixelation, and generator changes only update materials on currently selected objects.
• Unselected objects keep their previous palette and settings.
• Shared materials still update together (normal Blender behavior).

How to use

1. Select the target object(s).
2. Setup / Reset Material.
3. Change palette / Mix Color Count / pixelation / generator in the sidebar.
4. Only selected materials are affected.

Shader Editor

• Material trees show the three group nodes instead of the old flat node chain.

Mix Color Count

• New property: Mix Color Count (retro_palette_color_count).
• Limits how many colors from the selected palette go into the main color ramp.
• 0 = use full palette (default, previous behavior).
• 2, 4, 8, etc. = take only that many colors (after shuffle).
• Panel preview respects this limit.
• Separate from existing Gradient Color Count (gradient mode only).
