Create a reward

Creates a custom channel point reward on the streamer’s Twitch channel, owned by TipPage, so its redemptions can be resolved with fulfill / cancel. TipPage runs no actions on it - redemptions wait unfulfilled in the Twitch rewards queue and arrive on the twitch.channel_point_redemption webhook with is_managed: true. Needs a Twitch Affiliate or Partner channel.
