This PR lays the foundation of TM API documentation. We use OpenAPI to define the specification of existing backend endpoints. Subsequently, the documentation can be generated with Redocly.
The API coverage so far is minimal and includes only a handful of endpoints of the %groups agent. This was enough to establish a general structure. The specification can now be expanded in the areas we consider most useful.
I have made an attempt at generating the spec using static code analysis of our Hoon codebase, but for this approach to be practical the code analyser would have to be made more powerful – other things take priority for now.
