Extra nodes for Node-RED

A monorepo of roughly 60 community Node-RED nodes, sorted into folders by category (hardware, I/O, social, storage, and so on), with most nodes carrying their own package.json and LICENSE. It is for developers who want to read a node's source, borrow one, or see how a particular integration was built, since the README says the repo is not meant to be an install path.

The per-folder layout makes single nodes easy to lift out. The generic function nodes (rbe, smooth, random) are not tied to any board or service, so they are the most reusable part of the collection. Several nodes ship editor strings in de, ja, or ko locale folders, which most community node collections skip. The 99-sample node, with more comments than usual, works as a starting template for someone writing their first node.

Parts of the list are stale: nma is marked deprecated in the README, the Twitter node carries a warning about an API change, and the Galileo and Edison nodes target boards Intel discontinued. The install path is also weak. Every node is a separate npm package, discovery depends on npm search, and the README gives one-line descriptions with no Node-RED version targets. Running the tests means pulling in the Node-RED runtime, and the README does not say what they cover. The last push was two days ago, but that says little about any individual package. The Pi-facing nodes ship Python helper scripts (nrgpio.py, neopix.py, unihat.py) alongside the JavaScript, so getting anything working needs a Pi, the right board, and Python.
