Create or update a snapshot repository Added in 0.0.0

POST /_snapshot/{repository}

IMPORTANT: If you are migrating searchable snapshots, the repository name must be identical in the source and destination clusters. To register a snapshot repository, the cluster's global metadata must be writeable. Ensure there are no cluster blocks (for example, cluster.blocks.read_only and clsuter.blocks.read_only_allow_delete settings) that prevent write access.
