Add a tip with no payment attached - the same thing as the dashboard's manual-tip form. It enters the TTS queue (and the media queue when `media_url` is given) and plays like any other tip, with TTS pre-rendered. Manual tips deliberately skip the word filter (the author is trusted) and don't touch the leaderboard or tip goal (no money moved). Fires `tip.created` with `source: "api"`. Requires `tips:create`.
