HTTP Interface for Endpoints

Endpoints
The ArangoDB server can listen for incoming requests on multiple endpoints.
The endpoints are normally specified either in ArangoDB's configuration file or on
the command-line, using the @ref CommandLineArangoEndpoint "--server.endpoint" option.
The default endpoint for ArangoDB is tcp://127.0.0.1:8529 or tcp://localhost:8529.
The number of endpoints can also be changed at runtime using the API described below. Each endpoint can optionally be restricted to a specific list of databases only, thus allowing the usage of different port numbers for different databases.
This may be useful in multi-tenant setups. A multi-endpoint setup may also be useful to turn on encrypted communication for just specific databases.
The HTTP interface provides operations to add new endpoints at runtime, and optionally restrict them for use with specific databases. The interface also can be used to update existing endpoints or remove them at runtime.
Please note that all endpoint management operations can only be accessed via
the default database (_system) and none of the other databases.
