[DwC export]: Allow authorized users to build export cache via API #7741

Description

@grantfitzsimmons

Goal

Expose an API endpoint that allows authorized Institution Admin users to trigger a cache build for a specific export package without using the UI.

Background

Pipeline automation requires scriptable access to the export cache build process. This endpoint is the foundation for cron-based export pipelines. This can be the same as the one used in-app when triggered in #7726

Acceptance Criteria

  • A new API endpoint (e.g., just an example, POST /api/exportdataset/{id}/build) triggers a cache build.
  • The endpoint requires Institution Admin authentication; non-admins receive 403.
  • The endpoint accepts the exportdataset ID as a parameter.
  • The response includes a job ID or status URL for polling build progress.
  • The endpoint is documented in the Specify API documentation.
