Hide sockets for NodeGroups!

Sometimes you don't want to expose your sockets and let them just be "standalone" value it would make sense for some single-value sliders, menu settings, or something similar.

This could be implemented by adding a new option the the node tree interface add menu: Property. So, then all the items would be: Input, Output, Property, Panel. And the types for the Property option could either be derived from node sockets use the same method as custom properties.

when would you want to prevent people from having the option to supply a value from other nodes?

Menu sockets for instance? Not all values should be controlled by outside sources, sometimes it would make sense to "close" the value and keep it simple.
