Reseller API with Alpha Reseller Chain Support

Summary

Introduce a comprehensive Reseller API that enables resellers to securely automate hosting management tasks while fully supporting Alpha Reseller (Reseller Chain) environments.

Description

The new Reseller API provides a secure, authenticated interface for reseller-level automation without requiring root or administrator access. Each reseller can create and manage dedicated API users with their own credentials, allowing third-party applications, billing systems, and automation platforms to interact directly with the reseller account.

A key enhancement is full support for Alpha Resellers (multi-level reseller chains). API operations automatically respect the reseller hierarchy and permission model, allowing parent resellers to manage their reseller network while maintaining proper access controls.
