Support POSTing to `/requests/{requestId}/messages` #2977

Story

As a backend developer, I want to be able to call a service to submit a message to a scheduling clerk so that the front end can support submitting a message to a scheduler in the appointment request flow.

AC

[ ] Staging data recorded to cassettes
[ ] /requests/{requestId}/messages POST endpoint exist in vets-api
[ ] Tests, specs, and swaggers exists for both endpoints

Not sure we'll need this - @jbalboni to confirm. I think the initial message gets submitted as part of the appointment request itself rather than as a separate call. Since we're not planning a UI to send follow-up messages after the request is made, I don't think we'll need the endpoint.

Yeah, I don't think we need this now

markgreenburg commented 4 years ago

I think we all know about it at this point, but just to close the loop - we do need this, and submitting a message does require a separate service call from the request / appointment POST.
