Please add support for the '/api/5.0/beginprescan.do'

[brunzefb]

implementation can be sort of like this:

def begin_pre_scan(app_id):
    # the library does not support this call, we roll our own
    print('Initiating scan...')
    endpoint = 'https://analysiscenter.veracode.com/api/5.0/beginprescan.do'
    try:
        response = requests.post(endpoint,
                                 params={'app_id': app_id, 'auto_scan': 'true'},
                                 auth=RequestsAuthPluginVeracodeHMAC(),
                                 headers=HEADERS)
    except requests.RequestException as e:
        print("Call to " + endpoint + " failed.")
        print(EXCEPTION_DETAILS_FOLLOW)
        print(e)
        sys.exit(1)

    if response.ok:
        if 'has been updated by another transaction' in response.text:
            print('Another scan is likely in progress for ' + app_id + '. Please try again later.')
            sys.exit(1)
        root = element_tree.fromstring(response.text)
        return root.attrib['build_id']
    print("Call to " + endpoint + " failed.")
    sys.exit(1)

Very nice! By the way I was able to integrate 0.9.31, the upload_file() api makes my code way nicer:

def upload_file(app_id, file_name):
    print('Uploading file to Veracode: ' + file_name + '...')
    api = veracode_api_py.VeracodeAPI()

    try:
        api.upload_file(app_id, file_name)
    except veracode_api_py.VeracodeAPIError as e:
        print(EXCEPTION_DETAILS_FOLLOW)
        print(e)
        sys.exit(1)

Great! Glad that this improvement helped.
