Async Worker Emails

To demonstrate usage of the asynchronous SAQ workers, when an Author is created we trigger a worker function that sends an email.

mailhog is included in docker-compose.yaml, and includes a GUI that can be accessed at http://localhost:8025.

Create an Author:

$ curl -w "\n" -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"name": "James Patterson", "dob": "1974-3-22"}' http://localhost:8000/v1/authors
{"id":"6f395bdf-3e77-481d-98b2-3471c2342654","created":"2022-10-09T23:18:10","updated":"2022-10-09T23:18:10","name":"James Patterson","dob":"1974-03-22"}

Then check the mailhog GUI to see the email that has been sent by the worker.
