[API] Endpoint to check connection for source/destination. Pivotal Step during source/destination creation

What area the feature impact?

Airbyte Platform

Relevant Information

The airbyte API to create a source(https://reference.airbyte.com/reference/createsource ) creates a source entry without checking the connection. It is possible to create a source with incorrect inputs which would result in failures during sync creations. There is no endpoint to validate inputs against the source.
A similar is available in config API (https://airbyte-public-api-docs.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/rapidoc-api-docs.html#post-/v1/scheduler/sources/check_connection).

Check connection is a necessary checkpost for smooth data sync workflow. A similar endpoint is required for destinations as well.

Migrating completely config APIs to Airbyte API is difficult due to such missing endpoints. https://docs.airbyte.com/api-documentation

Thanks in advance.
