Create an extension

POST /deployments/extensions

Creates the extension. The extensions API supports two types of usage patterns. A). Specify a download_url, http or https URL, where the extension is currently hosted. This will result in extension being copied to elastic repository. B). Create only the extension metadata using the POST endpoint and then use PUT to upload the extension file. Leave the download_url unspecified in this case.
