[dev] Horde_Core_Factory_Base and E_STRICT

This is super-annoying on PHP's part.  By removing the create()  
definition in Horde_Core_Factory_Base, there is now NO indication that  
a subclass needs to implement a create() method by looking at the  
generated documentation for HCF_Base.

Not sure if there is a way to indicate this via phpdoc, but at a  
minimum I think we need to at least implement the class in HCF_Base  
and then comment it out.
