a user should be able to block and flag another user in one API call
Updates
#1
api/blocks/create can be used to block a given user; if the UserFlag plugin is set up, it'll also be flagged when the block is made.

There isn't currently a way to *only* flag without blocking from the API, as UserFlag adds no API points of its own. Is that needed?
#2
Let me clarify that this bug is in regards to the identi.ca API. flagging should be implemented in the API and it should be a "child" of the blocks/create API, which seems to be broken right now, but that's another bug.
Something along the lines of
api/blocks/flag.[FORMAT]?user_id=[USER_ID]
Which would block the user and send a flag to the admins for review. The 'create' function would still exist and could be used to block someone that is being a pest, but using 'create' should not send a notification to the admins.
Should I put a separate bug in for api/blocks/create not working?
