Create "pay" command

[ThomasKranitsas]

Create a pay command that will let copilot/managers process private task payments.

I built the following tool in the past that helps me process task payments.

Main functionality

The flow is the following:

• The tool asks for the task title, description, track (design/develop/data_science), payee username, amount in $, copilot payment, NDA
• The tool shows all available projects and prompts the user to pick one.
• Once the user selects a project, the tool processes the task payment and closes the challenge automatically.

Support copilot payments

• Support an optional -c/-copilot flag to process a copilot payment (similar to https://x.topcoder.com/#/app/copilot-payments)

If it's a copilot payment, the copilot will also be added as the member (registrant) which will be selected as the winner and the member payment will be $0.

API

You need to use the new V5 API https://github.com/topcoder-platform/challenge-api instead of the legacy (V4).

Refer to the Swagger definition on the above repo for details on how to use the API.

You will have to deploy the API locally.

Flow description

The flow of creating payment is described below:

Call the challenge API to create the challenge

• The typeId must be configurable
• The phases can create only one phase for the review.
• The reviewType should be INTERNAL
• The tags can be ['Task Payment']

Call the resources API to create the resources

• Call the resources API to create a resource for the copilot
• Call the resources API to create a resource for the member (registrant)

Call the challenge API to close the challenge

• Call the PATCH /challenges/:id endpoint to change the status to Completed and add a winners array to the challenge object to indicate the winner.

@cwdcwd Should we target v4 challenge API for implementing this command or should we wait until v5 challenge API is up in production?

I'd prefer to do this one cleanly using the challenge API wrapper and do it on v5

Noted. I will keep it on hold until we have V5 Challenge API up and running properly.
