Fetch a repository's index again

POST
/api/v1/extension-repositories/{repositoryId}/refresh
curl --request POST \
  --url http://localhost:8080/api/v1/extension-repositories/1/refresh \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>'

A failed fetch is recorded in fetchError, and the repository keeps its last good index. The server also fetches every repository’s index again every six hours, so new versions show up as updates.
