Code in Power Platform Custom Connectors

" summary

Adds C# code in custom connectors (public preview) to transform request/response payloads, call external APIs via APIM, and return simplified objects; examples show extracting a nested user array, running a regex email validation, and returning a compact user object. Limits are concrete: one code file up to 1MB, max execution time 5 seconds; code takes precedence over codeless operations, Newtonsoft JSON is supported, no server-side debugger or rich logging yet, and custom connectors remain a premium feature.
