If there are extended attributes types that are mandatory, the POST /patrons
route should fail if the request doesn't meet this requirement.

Unfortunately, we have no way (yet) to pass extended attributes on the POST. So
to solve this bug, we need to add a way to pass extended attributes along with
the patron object.

I propose:

POST /patrons
{
    "first_name": "Tomasito",
    ...
    "extended_attributes": {
        "SHOW_BCODE": [ 1 ],
        "COURSES": [ "ALGO1", "DATABASES" ]
    }
}

I choose to force them to be arrays for simplicity (they can be repeatable),
but we can check the data type on the controller (i.e. if (
ref($extended_attributes) eq 'ARRAY') { # loop case } else { # scalar case } ).

I'm open for opinions.
