Description
Node types cant currently be changed. It would be good to have a function that updates the node type for a given node. This will cause a rebuild of the nodes UI using the new node schema for that type. It will also maintain any valid connections for the new node type.

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Start by locating the TypeScript APIs for nodes, node schemas, UI rebuilding, and connections; then trace how a node is represented and changed. Done means a node can switch type, its UI reflects the new schema, and valid connections are retained.
