Add HTTP API examples to Processing Engine plugin documentation

This PR adds comprehensive HTTP API examples alongside CLI examples in the Processing Engine guide, addressing the issue requirement to "Include API examples" for Core and Enterprise processing engine guides.

✅ All Requirements Met

  • Core and Enterprise processing engine guide now includes HTTP API examples
  • Referenced api-docs/influxdb3/ for accurate endpoint details
  • Added links to API reference documentation throughout
  • Validated CLI and API parameters match specifications
  • Fixed all Hugo shortcode syntax errors
  • Code examples use proper placeholder syntax for testing
  • Reverted accidental changes to LICENSE and README.md
  • Added disabled field to all API examples per review feedback
  • Used api-ref parameter in all api-endpoint shortcodes instead of separate link sentences

📝 Sections Updated (10 major additions)

  1. Upload plugins - PUT /api/v3/plugins/files endpoint
  2. Update plugins - PUT /api/v3/plugins/files endpoint
  3. Create triggers - POST /api/v3/configure/processing_engine_trigger with full parameters
  4. Trigger on data writes - API examples for table: and all_tables
  5. Trigger on schedules - API examples for every: and cron:
  6. Trigger on HTTP requests - API examples for request: specifications
  7. Pass arguments - Shows trigger_arguments object usage
  8. Control execution - Shows run_async setting
  9. Configure error handling - Shows error_behavior options (Retry, Disable)
  10. Manage dependencies - POST /api/v3/configure/plugin_environment/install_packages

🎨 Implementation Details

Formatting:

  • Tabbed interface using {{< code-tabs-wrapper >}} for CLI vs HTTP API comparison
  • Proper Hugo shortcodes for all examples
  • Consistent placeholder syntax with {{% code-placeholders %}}
  • API endpoint display using {{% api-endpoint %}} with api-ref parameter for direct links

Parameter Accuracy:

  • All parameters validated against api-docs/influxdb3/core/v3/ref.yml
  • Consistent naming: db, plugin_filename, trigger_specification, trigger_settings
  • Matches CLI reference documentation
  • All API examples include required disabled field

Documentation Links:

  • API reference links integrated directly in all api-endpoint shortcodes via api-ref parameter
  • Links to related CLI commands
  • Cross-references to Processing Engine endpoints

📊 Statistics

  • Lines added: ~440
  • API examples: 10 major sections
  • Tabbed comparisons: 8 sections
  • API endpoints: 3 documented
  • Syntax validation: ✅ All shortcodes balanced

🔍 Testing Notes

  • Hugo shortcode syntax validated (all tags balanced)
  • Code placeholders properly formatted for pytest-codeblocks
  • Ready for code block testing once test environment is configured
  • API parameters verified against OpenAPI specification
  • All required fields included in API examples
