Create an option preset
/option-presetsCreates a preset and returns it with a Location. name (at most 255 characters) and items (a list of strings, at least one) are required. dry_run shows the result without saving it. Emits option_preset.created and sends no email. DELETE /option-presets/{id} undoes it while no field uses it.
