Add API testing capabilities

[jarrodek]

As a part of FY2019 ARC is to gain API testing capabilities.

The tests runs in ARC locally. Tests definition is used in both API test runner and API monitoring. The tests definition must comply with Mulesoft API test platform to allow the user to upload the definition to Anypoint functional testing and run tests in the cloud which allows scheduling and environments.

To be considered:

• Using HTTP bat (by Mulesoft, MIT license) - this library requires JAVA to be installed, may need to find alternatives or a transpiler if possible
• Anypoint functional monitoring uses DataWave format for tests. The syntax is complex and would have to be translated to a different model that can be used to generate the view. Maybe storing test definition data in JSON format and translating it to DW when uploading to Anypoint platform is a better approach.
• Which Anypoint testing platform capabilities can be used with ARC. Currently it requires paid account to run the tests.
• Data should be stored in Exchange while uploading tests to Anypoint and from there it should be available to use by the user in testing platform.
