[Feature Request]: Display full node even if the custom node is missing.

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues and checked the recent builds/commits

What would your feature do ?

When loading a workflow that contains nodes from a missing custom node pack:

Instead of displaying an empty node highlighted in red, display the normally (with all its inputs/outputs) and keep the red highlight.

Why : There are many custom nodes that do the exact same thing (simple float, for example). Instead of requiring the user to install all of these extra custom nodes, it's best to allow him to actually see what exactly the workflow is doing, so he can decide if it's worth downloading these custom nodes or if he can find an alternative.

How : the default input/outputs are already inside the json file anyway, not inside the python file. So retrieving that info and creating a dummy complete node should not be a problem.

See Comfy-Org/rfcs#2. Current workflow format does not support reconstruction as widget names are not available for unrecognized nodes.
