Add stacks and template APIs.

[DriesSchaumont]

Proposal:
First of all, thanks for creating this library!
I am looking for a way to manage stacks and templates. However, they seem to be missing from this library.
They seem to be available in the OSS api specification, though: https://github.com/influxdata/openapi/blob/master/contracts/oss.yml
Would it be possible to add these APIs to this library?

Current behavior:
Stacks and template specifications are currently not being generated in this library.

Desired behavior:
I would like to

Alternatives considered:
The workaround atm is to directly call the API directly.

Use case:
I want to create an manage templates and stacks using python.

Hi @DriesSchaumont,

thanks for using our client.

Would it be possible to add these APIs to this library?

Yes, we can add these APIs into library.

Can you describe your use case little bit more? It will be helpful to us to be sure that we covers your requirements.

Sure! I am creating a webserver application for reading serial data for a specific sensor. The data is parsed and verified (checksum), before being written to influxdb. I would like to minimize the impact of potentials bugs on the database by using a template for the ingested data. Also, I would like to be able check that such a template exists on application startup, and update/create it if necessary.

@DriesSchaumont thanks for detail info. One more question... What will be a source of the template? Is it community template or do you want to use yours own template?

I've prepared PR #399 with possibility to use Stacks and Templates API. If you would like to use dev version of client then install client via:

pip install git+https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb-client-python.git@open_api_update

Here is an example for Stacks and Templates API: https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb-client-python/blob/open_api_update/examples/templates_management.py
