Subject: [PATCH 44/50] External Attachments - Basic config + API endpoint
 updates (#1403)

This adds basic configuration support to external attachments, enabling
DocApi endpoints to be tested.

It adds a number of additional endpoints to DocAPI to make interacting
with and testing external attachments easier.
