Feniks 1ebf4c7fdc Improve Description of GraphNode
It mostly fixes issues I have listed in https://github.com/godotengine/godot-docs/issues/3065 where GraphNode description was rather lacking clarity. It was near impossible how to use the them or how to create new slots etc. 

I improved it quite a bit if anyone has idea how to reword original "A tuple of input and output slots is defined for each GUI element included in the GraphNode." I would love to hear it. I am unsure how to word it in more understandable way.

A GraphNode is a container with potentially several input and output slots allowing connections between GraphNodes. Slots can have different, incompatible types.

<description>
A GraphNode is a container. Each GraphNode can have several input and output slots, sometimes refered to as ports, allowing connections between GraphNodes. To add a slot to GraphNode, add any [Control]-derived child node to it.
After adding at least one child to GraphNode new sections will be automatically created in the Inspector called 'Slot'. When 'Slot' is expanded you will see list with index number for each slot. You can click on each of them to expand further.
In the Inspector you can enable (show) or disable (hide) slots. By default all slots are disabled so you may not see any slots on your GraphNode initially. You can assign a type to each slot. Only slots of the same type will be able to connect to each other. You can also assign colors to slots. A tuple of input and output slots is defined for each GUI element included in the GraphNode. Input connections are on the left and output connections are on the right side of GraphNode. Only enabled slots are counted as connections.

<description>
Sets properties of the slot with ID [code]idx[/code].
If [code]enable_left[/code]/[code]right[/code], a port will appear and the slot will be able to be connected from this side.
[code]type_left[/code]/[code]right[/code] is an arbitrary type of the port. Only ports with the same type values can be connected.
[code]color_left[/code]/[code]right[/code] is the tint of the port's icon on this side.
[code]custom_left[/code]/[code]right[/code] is a custom texture for this side's port.
[b]Note:[/b] This method only sets properties of the slot. To create the slot, add a [Control]-derived child to the GraphNode.
