[enhancement] String Concat Node, String List Node

[thygrrr]

It would be extremely helpful to have a node that can concatenate input strings, and also a way to load strings from text files.

This is not the same as putting both of the strings into one conditioning input, so proper string concatenation is something I really seek in stable diffusion GUIs, because it would allow parts of the positive/negative prompts to be stored and re-used easily while editing through various prompts.

Currently, it's always a hodgepodge that encourages endless addendums.

Instead of a comma-separated fluid prompt, splitting this up into a list of strings and then concatenating them in a way that the CLIP conditioning understands it later, would also help remove duplicates, iterate on orders and weights, etc.

While not core, this extension can help in the meantime : https://github.com/m957ymj75urz/ComfyUI-Custom-Nodes/tree/main/clip-text-encode-split (drop the .py file in your custom_nodes folder). This will add 4 nodes : RawText, RawTextCLIPEncode, RawTextCombine and RawTextReplace.

Was just thinking of adding text input to encoder and merge, replace, random, etc, but looks like you are on to it.
