Send Test Event

Send one event's example payload to this endpoint only. The request is signed like a real event, and its payload has `data.test` set to `true` and placeholder ids. Use it to check the receiver's signature verification without starting a job. The body is optional; `event_type` defaults to `job.completed`. Follow the result with the deliveries and attempts endpoints.
