API for Comext datasets

Important note: dedicated endpoints of the new API allow to download Comext and Prodcom datasets.

For these datasets, the <api_base_uri> is: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/api/comext/dissemination

In the URL above, "comext/" is added to differenciate this base URL from the main one: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/api/dissemination
