The functionality that verifies and records a view for a boost (and then triggers lifecycle events) is hidden away inside v2/analytics/views api controller alongside the functionality for recording entity/activity views. This boost functionality needs to be extracted and implemented within Core\Boost namespace with either a common View interface or extending a View abstract and then implement the concrete boost view functionality.

Pushed branch with an incompatible name so pipelines failed. Renamed to extract-view-api-1077

Just need to attempt to add Spec test for the Views if that is possible -singleton usage of Core\Analytics\App::_() might make spec test not possible.
