Create Contact

Creates a contact in the remote system. A best effort will be made to
map the providing information to the remote system's schema and in some cases some information
may not be able to be mapped. For example, many systems can only accept one phone number of each type
(home, mobile, work) and may not be able to store a phone number of type 'other'.
