Create Policy Definition

Creating policy definitions is slightly different to the core API, API definitions are wrapped inside an api_definition field and event handlers, such as webhooks are not embedded in the main api_defintion object (though they can be), webhooks are instead appended as references into the hook_references field, the API will embed the correct webhook data into the event handler interface.
