Request device action

Requires action scope for OAuth callers and a current per-device capability grant. Idempotency key is 1–128 characters; TTL defaults to 30 seconds and is at most 300 seconds. Duplicate retries with the same key and identical request return the existing receipt; key reuse with a different request conflicts. Physical execution is not exactly once.
