Support linked collections used as input in a Geometry Nodes modifier

Add support for linked collections that are used as input in a Geometry
Nodes modifier. This requires iterating over the geometry nodes modifier
settings, which consists of ID properties. If such an ID property is of
type `IDP_ID`, its pointer is followed and the pointed-to datablock +
its library are visited.

This following of pointers happens in the 'expand' phase, which was only
done for linked library blend files. Since this commit, the old
behaviour of simply looping over all non-`DATA` datablocks of the
to-be-packed blend file is not enough, and datablock expansion is done
for all local datablocks as well.
