Adds someone who can be assigned to events. Only `name` is required; a rate is what event labour costs are
worked out from.

Avatars cannot be attached over the API, because an upload needs a signed URL this API does not hand out.

**Errors**

- `422 staff_name_required` — no name, or a blank one.
- `422 invalid_rate` — a negative rate.
