Allow Bulk Insert (not upsert) of platform events via the CLI.

[jjulicher]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Occasionally we need to bulk insert platform events. However, using the bulk upsert command results in an error: InvalidJob : No create/update access for object:LeaseChargesBillings__e (even though the file contains only records without any external Id).

resulting in us to having to manually do a bulk insert via workbench.

What are you trying to do

The ability to bulk insert Platform Events via the CLI.

Describe the solution you'd like

Having either a "data bulk insert" command or having the "data bulk upsert" command recognise platform events by the sobject type extension ('__e') and route the to Bulk API Insert api.

Describe alternatives you've considered

running a curl command to send the file via bulk api.

Normal bulk API lets you specify Id as the --external-id to do an insert like sf data upsert bulk --external-id Id

Your csv doesn't have to have an Id column for this to work. Can you try it with some __e and see ?
