make it clear that this is for the public api, and we shouldn't add
fields to it without considering impacts
also add the broadcast_messages relationship on service and template to
the exclude from the marshmallow schemas, so it's not included elsewhere
had to go through the code and change a few places where we filter on
template types. i specifically didn't worry about jobs or notifications.
Also, add braodcast_data - a json column that might contain arbitrary
broadcast data that we'll figure out as we go. We don't know what it'll
look like, but it should be returned by the API
The `body` field of the ‘preview a template’ endpoint should contain the
content of the template with the placeholders replaced.
It should not be rendered into a plain text email, which does stuff like
normalising newlines (so `\r\n` becomes `\n`). However the object that
the `create_post_template_preview_response` function receives is an
instance of `PlainTextEmailTemplate`. So we can’t just call `str()` on
it. Instead we need to call the `__str__` method of
`WithSubjectTemplate` which gives us the result we want.
We were already doing this the right way in the V1 endpoint[1] but
forgot to do it here too.

By adding `force=True` to request.get_json() the mime type is ignore. If the data is not valid json the method will return a `BadRequestError` we catch that and throw our own error with a clear error message "Invalid JSON supplied in POST data".
If the json is valid return the json data or an empty dict if None is passed in.
This PR improves the error messages if the json is invalid, previously, the error message was "None object type" message which is not very helpful.
If you’re trying to show what a Notify email will look like in your
caseworking system all the API gives you at the moment is raw markdown
(with the placeholders replaced).
This isn’t that useful if your caseworkers have no idea what markdown
is. If we also give teams the HTML then they can embed this in their
systems, and the people using those systems will be able to see how
headings, bulleted lists, etc. look.
