ACS-3225 REST API to create one or more rules. (#1216) [tas]

* ACS-3225: Folder Rules v1 REST API - Create Rule

* ACS-3225 Create one or more rules within a folder/rule set.

* ACS-3225 Update ExtendedRuleServiceImpl in AGS to match new interface.

* ACS-3225 Code review fixes.

Make RuleBuilder an inner class, add documentation to API and rename method to createRules.
