API Access to "Prepare ZIP" function in backups

I would like to automate the "Prepare ZIP" functionality for the daily snapshots so I can download the backups. I currently do this manually on a weekly basis. From what I can tell, this would require 2 or 3 new endpoints:
* GET /installs/{install_id}/backups - get the list of recent backups (maybe they contain info if there are current ZIP files available)
* POST /installs/{install_id}/backups/{backup_id}/prepare_zip - initiate "Prepare ZIP", allowing me to control the notification emails
* GET /installs/{install_id}/backups/{backup_id}/prepare_zip - monitor status of "Prepare ZIP" and, upon completion, provide the URL to the ZIP file
I've seen a couple of other similar posts on the matter but since my idea is fairly specific, I figured I'd throw my hat into the ring as well.

Hi James Pyrich - thank you for making the post and for the great detail in the proposed endpoints! Backup management via the API is something we are evaluating adding to our endpoints - I will review this with the team and see what they think.
