/**
* Create Change Request
* Create a normal, emergency or standard change request through the Change Management API (/api/sn_chg_rest, documented in the Yokohama and Brazil API references; needs the itil, change_manager or admin role). A standard change takes the sys_id of a standard change template (std_change_record_producer), whose description and plans cannot be overridden. Reference fields (assignment_group, cmdb_ci) take sys_ids; dates use 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS' in UTC. Returns sys_id, number, state and the full record; fields ServiceNow did not apply are listed in ignored_fields.
