Blender upgrades break Essential node group links

[BrendanParmer]

When upgrading a .blend file to a new Blender version, the node group still links to the essential node group blend files of the old Blender version.

A few possibilities for how this should be handled:

• Recreate the node group by hand
  • This ignores the benefits of just linking the node group
• Enforce linking to the old Blender version.
  • This would seem to require having that old Blender version still installed
• Attempt to link to node group in new Blender version.
  • Gets a bit into the broader topic of forwards/backwards compatibility and handling automatic upgrades, could be somewhat messy

Leaning towards the last option right now

Last option breaks down when the node tree interface changes, reverting back to just a deep copy until compatibility work can be done

Other option is to include it as part of an asset library...
