Description

Why
After several deployments (with AL-GO for example) all uninstalled versions remain in extension management list. From time to time this gets very cluttered. If Automation API would provide an unpublish action, pipelines could cleanup after deployment.

This proposal draws from the discussions in the navcontainerhelper and al-go repositories, where the need for such a feature has been highlighted.

Idea
add a new action unpublish to page 30002 "APIV2 - Aut. Extensions" link.

Flow:

1. User sends a request POST https://.../api/microsoft/automation/v2.0/companies(...)/extensions(<packageId>)/Microsoft.NAV.unpublish
2. new unpublish action gets called
3. If package is installed, raise error
4. call ExtensionManagement.UnpublishExtension(Rec."Package ID"); to unpublish app
5. Return WebServiceActionResultCode::Deleted

I hope this idea finds you well.
