[WIP] Run meta analysis for a settings file API

[koolgax99]

Description

This API /api/ma/run will run a meta analysis if a settings file is provided in the body of the request. The settings file should me send as xml.

Upon successful run of the meta analysis the response will consist the data from the post.distns.MA.Rdata file from the output directory as a list.

Sample request on Postman

Sample settings file `<?xml version="1.0"?>
