Merge Style properties into Node. Use ComputedNode for computed properties. (#15975)
# Objective

Continue improving the user experience of our UI Node API in the
direction specified by [Bevy's Next Generation Scene / UI
System](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/14437)

## Solution

As specified in the document above, merge `Style` fields into `Node`,
and move "computed Node fields" into `ComputedNode` (I chose this name
over something like `ComputedNodeLayout` because it currently contains
more than just layout info. If we want to break this up / rename these
concepts, lets do that in a separate PR). `Style` has been removed.

This accomplishes a number of goals:

## Ergonomics wins

Specifying both `Node` and `Style` is now no longer required for
non-default styles

Before:
```rust
commands.spawn((
    Node::default(),
    Style {
        width:  Val::Px(100.),
        ..default()
    },
));
```

After:

```rust
commands.spawn(Node {
    width:  Val::Px(100.),
    ..default()
});
```

## Conceptual clarity

`Style` was never a comprehensive "style sheet". It only defined "core"
style properties that all `Nodes` shared. Any "styled property" that
couldn't fit that mold had to be in a separate component. A "real" style
system would style properties _across_ components (`Node`, `Button`,
etc). We have plans to build a true style system (see the doc linked
above).

By moving the `Style` fields to `Node`, we fully embrace `Node` as the
driving concept and remove the "style system" confusion.

## Next Steps

* Consider identifying and splitting out "style properties that aren't
core to Node". This should not happen for Bevy 0.15.

---

## Migration Guide

Move any fields set on `Style` into `Node` and replace all `Style`
component usage with `Node`.

Before:
```rust
commands.spawn((
    Node::default(),
    Style {
        width:  Val::Px(100.),
        ..default()
    },
));
```

After:

```rust
commands.spawn(Node {
    width:  Val::Px(100.),
    ..default()
});
```

For any usage of the "computed node properties" that used to live on
`Node`, use `ComputedNode` instead:

Before:
```rust
fn system(nodes: Query<&Node>) {
    for node in &nodes {
        let computed_size = node.size();
    }
}
```

After:
```rust
fn system(computed_nodes: Query<&ComputedNode>) {
    for computed_node in &computed_nodes {
        let computed_size = computed_node.size();
    }
}
```
