[development] Add node without node/add

[Kyle Mathews]

Node_factory is a great idea for a module as this problem, creating
nodes programatically, seems to come up all the time. It'd be great if
best practices  could be put into node_factory. I used it recently to
create a custom module using workflow_ng and node_factory to auto
create nodes and it worked great.
