2421887 - LMS - Admin/supervisor/user records external event through OData API (Product Enhancement b1702 - LRN-15619)

Symptom

We have added ExternalLearningEvents to learningevent-service so that you can call an API to post external learning events to the LMS.
Using this API, you would be now able to record learn an external event for a user. Please note that this can be done by an admin or a supervisor or a user.

Points to Note:

If an Schedule Offering has commerce or approval process, then commerce, approvals and e-signature flows would require further interaction API’s which is currently not in scope.
In one API call an array of up to 10 records
