Feature request: Allow to assign a custom uuid when creating document/folder via REST API

[anybody84]

Would be great to be able to define custom document/folder id when sending POST request to /api/nodes.

Example request body:

{
  "id": "9f3221e4-5a4c-4861-94ff-5cac9767c1da",
  "title": "My Folder",
  "ctype": "folder",
  "parent_id": "3fa85f64-5717-4562-b3fc-2c963f66afa6"
}

This was possible in version 2.1.9 and it is not possible anymore since version 3.x

@anybody84 why would you need a custom uuid? Just trying to understand the use case for it.

[anybody84]

@ciur, I use papermerge as a part of some bigger app. Currently, papermerge does not support custom metatada for documents, so I store it in a separate database (mongodb). For that reason I'd like to keep unified id across both "systems", but the mongodb record comes first and then, the id cannot be changed anymore.
