Visual Scripting takes too much effort to call a function

[fire]

Targeting 3.1

Issue description: Visual Scripting UX takes too much effort to call a function. It takes too many clicks.

Steps to reproduce:

Current flow:

1. Add a new str input to the function.
2. Drag from str input
3. Click call (a dialog that says call / set / get)
4. Type name of function constrained by type
5. Move mouse to open and click / double click open

New flow:

1. Add a new str input to the function. (This is still bad...)
2. Drag from str input
3. Do a search constrained by type
4. Single click / press enter to create

Rid of the current flow's B, you can put those into the search bar and have it so clicking on the function name once is enough (not double clicking)

Other ideas:

1. Right click on the background calls function call search
2. A plus button to add inputs and outputs on the create a function ui on the graph area
3. Create the first function _ready. Every visual script has an empty _ready function that can be deleted. It is a template.

I will agree that it's not intuitive and a bit fiddly to get anything done in visualscript at the moment. I'm exploring it as an option for my friend who is primarily interested in Art and VERYLIGHT scripting and even this feels too difficult to explore and figure out.

Perhaps node based programming is not the solution... hmm.

Able to do this through tweaking. Anyways, the battle is winnable!
