Custom API support (execution stage = internal/30)

[misoeli]

We have started work on this, and the latest preview release (5.3.0-alpha) contains a draft version. Source can be found here: https://github.com/delegateas/Daxif/tree/custom-api-mlr - there's still a few gotcha's to be aware of - see https://github.com/delegateas/Daxif/wiki/Custom-API-Setup

I guess your title tells the story - custom API's are not supported currently.
I have added it to the backlog, but I can't give any indications as to when it would be implemented.

The issue seems to be two-parts, given that the docs are correct and the api configuration is part of the solution package:

1. We need to be able to sync the plugin class either without a registration (this seems risky, could potentially include wrong classes), or using a meta-registration for custom APIs.
2. The Plugin.cs base class needs to be able to find/execute the proper method on custom-api calls, so we hook into the existing logic to get service access.

Additionally, XrmMockup should probably be extended to support executing Custom API steps on-demand.

@markschouten : This has been implemented and is included in latest version 5.5.1 that we have just released.

In order to activate and make use of Custom APIs you must use the CustomAPI.cs base class from Daxif resources for creating Custom APIs. - It works similarly to plugins inheriting from Plugin.cs and you register it according to the documentation linked by @misoeli above.
