Feature Request: Rest API support for approving deployments

[HariSekhon]

Please add support in the Rest API for approving deployments.

This would allow to automate deployments from the CLI for quicker approvals as part of day-to-day administration, and is necessary for the GitHub CLI to support this too:

cli/cli#5773

It almost looks like you could do this from this documentation:

https://docs.github.com/en/rest/deployments/statuses#create-a-deployment-status

I tried POST to /repos/{owner}/{repo}/deployments/{deployment_id}/statuses with a body field of state=in_progress to try to get it past waiting (ie. approval required) to progress but this hasn't worked.

It looks like this is supported in the API now:
