Import a connection by submitting credentials directly (programmatic)

Porte B (programmatic/headless): the backend already holds the credential and submits it directly to create the connection — the server-to-server analogue of the hosted Connect portal. Use for api_key / basic / custom auths. For OAuth2 auths use the headless OAuth start (initiateIntegrationOAuth); for interactive/human flows where the secret should never transit the caller, use the hosted Connect portal (initiateIntegrationConnect).

A credential the platform mints (the private_key of @appstrate/ssh) is refused with a 400 naming the field; such an auth connects through the Connect portal (initiateIntegrationConnect).
