Add a new draft charts-based API for data fetching.
Motivation
We would like to offer simple code snippets that give you the data powering a chart, but we want to prototype what that could look like before committing to baking data in a special way or making a special worker.
The most likely outcome, if we like this code, is that we will later migrate it to a CloudFlare worker and serve the API from there.
