Add support for DataDog Synthetics

[alandotcom]

Datadog's uptime monitoring service, Synthetics, can now be configured via API.

I want to start looking into how to do at, but in case anyone else is working on it, let me know!

@LumberJ that will be awesome! Looking forward to see the PR

@rasheedamir would you be opposed to using something like https://github.com/dnaeon/go-vcr for the tests? I would be able to run the tests against my account, but I'm not sure we can get a free account to test against. I can also reach out to Datadog and see what they can do.

@waseem-h thoughts?

@LumberJ I don't have anything against mocking. Feel free to use go-vcr, gock or httpmock or any other library as long as it works for the usecase. I personally think that its good to use them for testing API's that are not free

[alandotcom]

Sounds good. I'll be able to record test cases against our account. Do you have experience with either go-vcr or httpmock? I haven't used either.

[alandotcom]

I started writing tests today, but they're API is broken / not working properly, so this is probably going to take another week or two at least

[alandotcom]

Still working on this, I just haven't had time to wrap up the testing

[alandotcom]

No longer working on this, as we decided Synthetics is too expensive for our use case. I am happy to help anyone else get started and share my work
