Function: Basic cURL POST

Enterprise Edition

Goal: Perform a simple cURL POST using an external REST endpoint.

This function basicCurlPost communicates with a public REST echo service.
Requires Eventing Storage (or metadata collection) and a "source" collection.
Needs a Binding of type URL Alias (as documented in the Scriptlet).
Will operate on any mutation of the KEY "make_curl_request::1".
The actual cURL request from the Eventing Function will be equivalent to (but test to make sure the service is live):
```
curl -q 'https://postman-echo.com/post' -d '{ "myboolean": true }'
```
Only logs the REST response JSON payload to the Application log file.
