This improves backwards compatibility for the recent improvements to the Shuffle node. As the tests now demonstrate, not only can you load old files (we had test coverage for this already), but you can now also create new expressions via the API using the legacy plug names. This should help Cinesite get over the upgrade hump, since they have nodes which create such expressions internally in their constructors.
The only difference between this PR and #5739 is that I've rebased to fix the Changes.md conflict and am making the PR from a branch on the main repo, to get GafferArnold in the build artifacts. @danieldresser-ie, this is still a priority for review.
