AY-7307_Harmony: Look for composition node and connect automatically if not Use selection

[ynbot]

Please describe the enhancement you have in mind and explain what the current shortcomings are?

Creators should try to look for composition node and auto connect newly created write node if Use selection is unticked (or maybe even if it is ticked but there is only single Composition node).

Advanced license doesn't have access to Node view, so composition node couldnt be selected >> write node is unconnected >> empty black frames are created.

This applies both for Creators and Loaders

How would you imagine the implementation of the enhancemenent?

How would you imagine the implementation of the enhancemenent?

First idea:

1. preset in addon, allowing automatically connect to composition output on / off (off by default)
2. preset in addon, named "regular expression for automatic connection" - a regex string to search for nodes to connect to, definable by user, set by default on something general, i.e. ^Composite\w*$
   Implementation
   during the "Create" action, it should iterate through composition nodes and if there is composition node matching the pattern, it will connect it with the new output node and stop looking further.
   To be considered: having the regex also in user dialog during creation, for easy modification.

Artis currently cannot override regex pattern for Composite name as Harmony it is still using old Pyblish.
It could be added when move to new Publisher will be finished.
