This PR adds an API endpoint to support #1434's need for dynamic shortlink generation (ie, generate shortlink only when share intent/dropdown is invoked).
The API endpoint is public-access and does not record the authenticating user that generated a shortlink. However, it limits URLs to those recognised to be served by the host app, including having a valid path. A custom name can be provided for the shortlink stub if the calling user is a site editor.
