Enabling eAPI on Arista devices

In this recipe, we will outline how to enable eAPI on Arista devices. eAPI is a representational state transfer (RESTful) API on Arista devices, which simplifies the management of such devices and provides a consistent and robust API to manage them. This task is critical since we will use eAPI in all future recipes to manage the Arista device.
