Add Grid pattern to Distribute Points on Faces

The proposal is to add a Grid distribution method of point to the Distribute Points on Faces node.

In things like archviz It is very handy to be able to do distributions in a grid arrangement.

UV unwrap and attaching the points to uv coordinates??

This can be done with some extra nodes for simple topology (like more or less flat walls, cylinders, etc.), but for non trivial shapes it could be very hard if not impractical. So this feature would indeed improve functionality.

However, for complex shapes I'm not sure if there actually is a reasonable, deterministic way of implementing this.

I think it would be nice, to use it the same way, like in the "Distribute Points in Volume" node. Image
