Allow access to writers in a group, see https://discuss.pixls.us/t/rendering-nested-write-nodes/33225

Tested on Windows 11 (NatronRenderer project.ntp -w Group1.Write1).

@rodlie would you be ready for a 2.4.4 release?

(python 2.7)

[rodlie]

Yes, I have a dedicated machine for building RB-2.4, but I have not updated the SDK in a while (OIIO etc).

[devernay]

I think that's ok, the goal is to fix bugs and bring the few new features.
OIIO and ffmpeg updates may be valuable, but not necessary.

[rodlie]

Ok, it will then be built against the same SDK as v2.4.3. The machine is up and running.

BayMax test fails compared to 2.4.3, will need to figure out why.

So, it's not a problem with the SDK, as building v2.4.3 results in BayMax PASS.

[devernay]

that was a hard one!

culprid: NatronGitHub/openfx-io#23

since YRotate and XRotate don't have the same defaults, this changed the SeNoise default behavior.

Great 👍

Just got to work, but will remote in to the machine and start a new build.

I upgraded OIIO from 2.3.11 to 2.3.21 and FFmpeg from 4.4. to 4.4.3. I will not go beyond OIIO 2.3.x and FFmpeg 4.4.x for RB-2.4 (to keep compatibility and don't introduce new issues).
