[RFC - not to directly merge] First try on commands from API

[paurullan]

In the mailing list we discussed on launching some of the manage.py maintenance commands from the REST API. This schema has come to light in order to be able to deploy weblate on a cluster where we can only have a single writer worker.

This is a first quick approach and I would love feedback to know if I should go on this way. I will obviously do the tests and documentation but first I wanted some kind of feedback.

There is a missing feature of enabling tokenized auth on the /api/maintenance/x methods.

The authentication is there, all you need to do is check permissions.

Also I think these operations should use POST request rather than GET...
