upvote_dataset

Add one anonymous vote for a government dataset that publicdata.au does not serve yet, so it is built sooner. To read a served dataset use search_datasets, and to see the votes so far use list_backlog. slug is a vote key from search_catalogue, such as act-3u5a-ve4j, or a list_backlog slug. A dataset that is served, being built or closed returns an error saying it is not open for votes. No identity is recorded, so a vote cannot be withdrawn, and a second vote from the same caller on the same day adds nothing. The answer gives the dataset's vote total after this call. The call costs nothing against the rate limit.
