🐛 Smart Link Fixes

[MFA-X-AI]

Description

The smart link action happens when a flow link is created between two nodes. It autoconnects the two nodes' parameter ports that have a shared string, eg: out_sparksession -> in_sparksession.

This PR updates it so that:

• when a flow link is created, it will check if the port type matches, eg str-> str, any -> any
• it will allow port linking if an arbitrary datatype is connected to an any type, ie str -> any. Vice versa does not apply, ie any -> x str.

A link should not be created if:

• the port type does not match (with the exception of any)
• the source OR the target port already has a link (previously it would overlay an additional link)
