Is there software that turns an uploaded/created arbitrary 3D shape into 2D creases on a rectangular sheet needed to create it?

There are definitely algorithms for UV unwrapping of polygonal models onto texture maps, under various constraints. I'm sure you could persuade one of those to generate you a net from a 3D model.

Here's an instructible on it: http://www.instructables.com/id/Design-Papercrafts-with-CAD-...

Edit: Software for doing what you want here: http://www.tamasoft.co.jp/pepakura-en/
